Sheri Savage was born in Chicago Illinois to Nigerian parents. She grew up listening to Afro-Caribbean rhythms, as well as R&B and Hip Hop, but it was being in the choir, and getting to sing with people and in front of people, that boosted her confidence, and exerted a very powerful influence in her artistic life. Her eyes were opened to the opportunity in music as a profession so she studied Drama and Musical theatre, and she realized that after all these years that her calling was to be an actress as well as a singer; she wanted to share her music and also her "drama" :) Sheri started modeling with Elite models of Chicago as well; and did shows for Nieman Marcus, Sebastian's Hair products and Nordstrom. She featured in films such as Francis Polo's 9 to 5, John Tomasek's Predators Game and Christopher Poole's The Battle. She was on the reality TV show Change of Heart, and starred in numerous stage plays. Sheri is currently touring with Vanessa Holmes' A Tribute to the Motown Greats where she portrays the character of Diana Ross and just returned performing for the Royal Caribbean.
