​Honoured as one of the top 100 pioneering women of Wales for her contribution to The Arts, Cheryl could never have imagined how her life would be. Writing her first song at age 13, she began a music career that fulfilled her wildest dreams, touring with the likes of Sir Bob Geldof & Van Morrison, mesmerising audiences with her poignant songs, poetry and stories, performing at our largest festivals and finest theatres. Celebrated as a finalist for Best Female Solo Artist, Cheryl's album 'Little Fish', became an HMV album of the month, sending her on a nationwide tour of UK record stores.
Alongside her incredible performance career, Cheryl is also known as a creative humanitarian. A pioneer of innovative Arts & Health interventions, her visionary projects enable sustainable social change and continue to impact Arts strategy at the very core of Welsh life. As Creative Director of Celtic Womenfest for The National Botanic Garden of Wales, the event became the largest women's music festival in Europe. ​From body casting installations with breast cancer survivors to a dementia friendly radio station, from community opera with council estates, to 30 feet Graffiti poems for young offenders, Cheryl is a champion of the unheard, holding space for every voice to make a difference.  ​​Read On to find out how becoming suddenly hearing impaired, has informed Cheryl's work in the Now.

The Nature poet
Daeth Cheryl i Gymru gyntaf yn ei harddegau ac erbyn iddi orffen ei gradd gyntaf ym Mhrifysgol De Cymru, roedd wedi cwympo mewn cariad â'r diwylliant, y bobl a’r cefn gwlad – Cymru yw ei chartref bellach ac, er nad yw'n siarad Cymraeg, mae'n chwilio am ffyrdd o gynnwys yr iaith yn ei gwaith. 
Cheryl first came to Wales as a teenager and by the time she had finished her first degree at the University of South Wales, she had fallen in love with the culture, people and countryside - for her, Wales is home and although she does not speak Welsh, she finds ways to include it within her work.
