Music Biography Cheryl J Campagne (Artist name Cheryl Jeanette) is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, poet and music educator. She studied classical guitar at the Nutmeg Music Conservatory with master guitarist George Hadjimarkou from CYPRUS and also attended the Hartt School of Music Community Division. Inspired by her father who was a poet, Cheryl began writing poetry at an early age. After becoming friends with American Children’s Author E.B. White from Brooklin Maine in 1979, Cheryl began songwriting.

Cheryl Jeanette is a contemporary Folk artist and has released an EP “Spirit of the Seasons” that was inspired by her friendship with American Author E.B.

Her two albums “Down to Earth” and “Auburn Street” feature songs Flowers Bloom In May (dedicated to Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris) and Finish Line
