Title: Angels Running After

Toss the DNA of Peter Gabriel, Sophie B. Hawkins, Jeff Buckley, and Kate Bush into a blender, and you might recognize artist Cheryl Bliss, whose refreshing brand of eclectic pop is making waves both in the San Diego music scene and in cyberspace.

Cheryl's self-produced debut album "Angels Running After" was nominated Best Pop Album 2001 by the San Diego Music Awards.

She recently recorded a song with acclaimed guitarist Phil Keaggy (who is also featured on her own album) for "The Unbreakable Chain, " a tribute to Daniel Lanois. Her songs have been downloaded over 50,000 times and played on over 45 radio stations worldwide. Cheryl plays regularly in the San Diego area to a devoted and growing fan base. She has enjoyed receiving fan mail from around the world, and has garnered critical acclaim.

Cheryl's recent performances include KUSI-TV Channel 9 San Diego and KFMB Sets102 (102.1 FM), as well as San Diego clubs including 4th and B, Hard Rock Café, Blind Melons, Croce's Top Hat, and Martini Ranch.

The album "Angels Running After" features Cheryl's growing production skills. "I've been dabbling in the world of sounds and arrangements," says Cheryl, "which is completely different from songwriting, piano-playing, or singing." Cheryl layered her synth sounds, vocals, piano, the occasional beatbox, and other oddities together with the traditional instruments of her band to create a lush bed for her ethereal, quirky vocals.

Cheryl's music has been described as "stimulating, refreshingly different, and completely cool." "There are really no boundaries when it comes to the creation of music," says Cheryl. "The future to me is full of the challenge of the chase-on the trail of an amazing song."
