LISTEN NOW: CHERLISE IS NEXT

GO D'AMOUR!, NEW! | February 15, 2012

cherlise for aimeramour

AimerAmour was in attendance at the listening party for Division 1 artist CHERLISE at Opera Ultra Lounge in Washington, DC. The Miami, Florida native performed songs from her debut mixtape “Ground Zero” including the radio hit, “Hollyhood” and “I’m So Ready” featuring Fat Joe.

Being the fifth child of ten siblings, Cherlise has learned how to stand out and work hard from a young age. The daughter of two pastors wasn’t allowed to listen to secular music growing up and cleaned a local studio in exchange for recording time. It was in this studio, after hours where Cherlise would record the demo that would change her life.

Fast forward to fate taking its course, Cherlise being in the right place at the right time and multi-platnium rapper Fat Joe listening to her demo and introducing her to renown writer/producer Rico Love [Beyonce, Usher].

Cherlise signs with Rico Love’s Division 1′s label and her unique sound is introduced to the world via the single, “Love You Right” featuring Lil Wayne produced by Love. Even with a feature from one of the hottest rappers in the game, Cherlise isn’t getting comfortable, she’s just getting started.

In the midst of her listening party, Cherlise speaks to AimerAmour about upbringing, artist comparisons, and her undeniable work ethic.

future for aimeramour

With two of the hottest tracks on the radio this past summer, “Racks” and “Tony Montana”, one might think FUTURE is new artist but the Atlanta, Georgia native has been paying his industry dues for years. The songwriter/producer has written hooks and hits for many of your favorite rappers including Ludacris. Beyond his songwriting and production abilities, what makes FUTURE stand out from other emerging rappers is his work ethic.

Long before his current deal with Epic, FUTURE’s presence had taken over Atlanta, Georgia with several of his mixtapes being played in heavy rotation throughout the clubs and on the radio. Consistent radio spins for an unsigned artist is quite an accomplishment but it’s quite normal for FUTURE.

FUTURE speaks with AIMERAMOUR about his entrepreneurial endeavors, Freebandz Productions, how he built his fan base and provides advice for new artists on what to do when they get signed.

I thought I discovered Ledisi. When I heard the 2007 hit, “In the Morning”, and it became the new song on my ipod’s rotation, I had no idea I was two albums, several awards and almost a decade late.

I was blessed with the opportunity to interview Ledisi who is not only an artist but also a budding author and entrepreneur. I speak with my fellow New Orleans, Louisiana native about risks she’s taken in her career, advice for artists on how to accomplish their goals and learning to see outside of herself.
