Cheryl Christensen

Began her music career as a singer-lyricist in the early 1980's. [l=Motown] Records had signed a young male vocal group from Detroit, [a=21st Creation], to its label. Following up on a hit single, they went into the studio to record their second album. Ms. Christiansen's writing talent came to the attention of the group's producer, resulting in their collaboration on three songs recorded by the group.

Shortly thereafter, Ms. Christiansen began collaborating with producer [a=Jack Gold] at [l=CBS] Records, who had produced upwards of 1980s albums for [a=Johnny Mathis], and [a=Arnold Goland] among others.
