CHERINE WRAPS YEAR ROCKING FOR CHARITY AND MORE

Fresh off a series of successful live shows Anderson wraps 2009 with a solid performance at Sting. After spending months touring across three continents and making her billboard charts debut Cherine returned to Jamaica post tour and released three hot singles Talk If Yuh Talking, Real love and Hey Baby. It didn't take long for Cherine to be approached to perform at numerous live shows and charity events for the Holiday season. Anderson who started her foundation Reach One Child, which assists with school supplies and tuition for need-based students, in 2003 was very passionate about giving back this holiday.

First up was Usain Bolt's 9.58 Charity Superparty in Richmond, St. Ann. This show proved to be the perfect platform for Cherine to give her fans a taste of her new music. Clad in sequined shorts, a long black sleeveless coat that opened down the middle to expose some fabulous black knee high boots, she rocked fashion as well as the stage with hits such as Ring The Alarm, Real Love and Coming Over Tonight.

Only a few days later she joined forces with world reknown Trombonist Nambo Robinson and Lecturer/Guitarist Maurice Gordon and performed a short but powerful set to raise funds for music students at the Edna Manley College. The lawns of Jamaica's National Botanical Garden, Hope Gardens, provided the perfect backdrop for the "Evening of Fine Dinning and Music" and fans were able to experience Anderson do her thing in a very intimate setting.

With little rest, Cherine hit the stage again, this time with a live band at the National Indoor Sport Centre for the Asafa Powell Foundation's "A Night on Tracks." She teased the crowd with songs like Good Love and You Turn me On, a duet with Natel and was met with loud cheers, especially from the women, on the female empowered hit Talk if yuh Talking.

Cherine wrapped December with a strong performance at STING 2k9. Introduced as the 'little lady with a powerful voice'" she greeted the approximately 10,000 strong hardcore dancehall patrons at about 4am and delivered songs like Ring the Alarm, Real Love and Coming Over tonight, with The Living Fire (Chuck Fenda) , which was well received by the audience . By all accounts Cherine's performance was solid as she delivered in her first solo STING performance. Additionally, her sense of style was apparent as her outfit was a sight for sore-eyes. Rocking a one-sleeved gold and black cat suit Anderson accentuated with Jamaica's own Reve Jewelers' custom made jewelry aptly titled "Sting". In 2009 she has grown as a singer/songwriter and continues to show her versatility as a performer.
