Donna Cherry
Voice / Piano / Idol Prep
Donna has an unusual way of approaching singing. Having won
the Metropolitan Opera Apprentice Award then winning Miss
California doing a series of singing impressions, she learned that
you can actually strengthen your chords and sound production by
using impressions of your favorite singers as a means of
strengthening and isolating your resonators to create the best
sound that is distinctly “you.” Stylistically, she can work with you
from bel canto to” belt and count.”
She studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, privately
at Juilliard and has a degree in Music (Vocal Performance) from
Cal State Northridge.
