Sheryl Denise

A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Sheryl Denise was raised by her maternal grandparents. She realized her passion for the arts very early in life; however, a painful childhood shyness kept much of her talent hidden. Although Sheryl had no formal training in dance or music, her mother began to notice her natural giftings in these areas. Singing in church and school choirs she put her energy into blending in to the sounds never wanting to bring attention to her own singing abilities (which she seemed the most shy about). Sheryl began participating in various talent shows, school showcasings, and featured television broadcasts dancing and often "making up" dances for these events throughout grade school. She seemed to have a little more confidence in dancing than singing, but all in all, performance in any direction became a passion.
