Sherri started taking vocal lessons at age nineteen learning the Seth Riggs techniques. She has a unique, distinguishable alto voice and sings many of her own songs. She also writes songs that call for a higher, more soprano voice so she hires different singers for those particular songs. Sherri can take a great singer and work magic with her songwriting ability.

Sherri's objective is to find well known, or up-and-coming excellent singers to sing some of her songs, and very hopefully make many hit songs. Many of her songs are very vocally challenging and she would need the BEST of singers. She would like to work with studio musicians, and record the keyboards on the songs herself.
