Thanks to my FB friends who have been so supportive of singer Cheyenne Elliott and her page! If you havent had a chance to like her page yet or were not aware, heres your chance: https://facebook/OfficialCheyenneElliott Cheyenne Elliott’s talent was recognized at the tender age of 9 years old, at which time she started singing in public. Her grandmother, the iconic Dionne Warwick, called her to the stage to sing during a performance of “That’s What Friends Are For” in Coney Island, New York. Even as a child, she wowed the audience. Cheyenne learned her craft and drew innately from being born into a family of music royalty, including her grandmother, her father David Elliott - who wrote Luther Vandross’ massive hit “Here and Now,” and late superstar cousin Whitney Houston. Dionne would play an instrumental role in Cheyenne’s development as a performer. By the time Cheyenne was 10 years old, she was visiting recording studios in the Los Angeles area, where she demonstrated immense talent. Cheyenne made subsequent appearances with Dionne at renowned venues throughout her youth. The audience’s appreciation of her vocal prowess led to summers traveling with her “Grammy,” performing in countries all around the world. She made a very special appearance celebrating Dionne’s 45th anniversary of recording at the Hollywood Palladium, and another performance honor included her Carnegie Hall debut at age 12, opening for legendary singer Gladys Knight. At 12 years old she also appeared on Dionne’s My Friends & Me album, on a duet entitled “Love Will Find A Way”; a song that Dionne had previously recorded with Whitney Houston. Cheyenne later joined Dionne, David, Whitney, Cissy Houston, Dee Dee Warwick, Bobbi Kristina Brown, Felicia Moss and others from the family on the recording of “Family First,” a song which appeared in the Tyler Perry movie Daddy’s Little Girls. The 19 year-old New Yorker has been signed by famed producer Narada Michael Walden to his Tarpan Records. She is currently recording at Tarpan Studios in San Rafael, California, where her cousin Whitney, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey and many other artists recorded some of their biggest hits. She is following in the socially conscious footsteps of her grandmother, whose 1985 charitable recording “That’s What Friends Are For” raised awareness and funds all over the world to help people suffering from the plight of AIDS. In the Fall Cheyenne will appear on Dionne’s Feels So Good album release, in the company of other luminaries such as Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Cyndi Lauper, Ne-Yo, Cee Lo Green, Billy Ray Cyrus and a handful of other greats, on a beautiful Walden produced duet, entitled “Let There Be Love.” Your kind support is greatly appreciated!!!
