Born and raised in Central New York:
Cheri Giraud spent her childhood in the northern suburbs of Syracuse, New York, Liverpool, New York to be exact. during the late 60s. She was born into an Italian American family filled with family traditions and challenging events that made her upbringing with what some would call movie worthy.
No stranger to a challenge...
As a daughter of a charismatic, larger-than-life, father, who by night delved into less savory activities, Cheri yearned to be part of that thrilling atmosphere. It was filled with wild nightlife, flashy clothes and jewelry, shiny black cars, fine dining, fancy cocktails and of course music. Music to her father was the soundtrack of life. All kinds of music, but jazz and standards were the highlight reels.
