Cheryl Alleyne

Contains 5 performances.

In her own words ''I have been a professional drummer and musician since the late 80's. I've found this life very interesting and exciting as it has given me the opportunity to travel, meet many people and see many places around the world. If I had to choose one thing which would make me stand out in a crowd, it would be the fact that I am female. In all the years that I have been playing my drums, people have often commented on that single fact. Regarding Acting, I have always had a great interest in the subject and although I have spent most of my life working in the music field, I still find acting very interesting and have always wanted to be involved with it in some way, shape or form. "  From https://www.starnow.com/wks4me/
