About Cherice Cosentino
Cherice Cosentino was born on a particularly wonderful afternoon in October of 1989. Her birth was probably uneventful. Since that fateful day, Cherice has been living and breathing for music. Actually that’s a lie. Cherice discovered she could make music when she received a yellow, "Sesame Street" toy keyboard when she was between the ages of 3-5. Not only did she create her first ever song, she also taught herself how to play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" using a number system that she created. She was probably inspired to write her first song after countless times of listening to her Italian immigrant/hippie extraordinaire father play the guitar and sing to her. After her toy keyboard broke, she kind of ignored music until the 5th grade when she joined her school band playing the flute. The following Christmas she asked for a real keyboard and she received the most useful Christmas gift ever. It was a cheap 61-key Casio keyboard that served as a foundation of what would later come. Armed with a basic understanding of music, Cherice began to experiment again and was soon learning songs by ear that she heard around the house or on the radio. By teaching herself bass clef, chords and other musical type things, her piano prowess continued to expand until her 61-key keyboard would no longer suffice...And then she got a better one. Flashforward to the present... Cherice is still the same flute playing band nerd, only now she’s creating more music and art than ever before. You can frequently find her playing in various coffeehouses, church basements, open mics and anywhere else that will endure her unique brand of noise. Not only does she continue to play the piano, she also makes various audio spasms she calls "singing", but is probably just aural torture. Just kidding. Cherice is actually a classically trained vocalist. But she still makes random audio spasms and couldn’t imagine her music without them.
