Cheyllo is an instrumentalist, specializing in bringing a fresh twist to electric and acoustic cello, blending the sounds of pop, R&B, rock and contemporary music with the elegance of classical strings: all your favorite tunes reimagined. Each performance offers a unique, personalized experience, centered around being present in the moment.

Cheyllo draws inspiration from life’s most profound and often painful experiences, channeling themes of loss and grief into her music. Her songs explore the deep emotional landscapes that come with these heavy moments. Through raw and vulnerable melodies, Cheyllo uses music as a way to process pain and share that experience with others who may be navigating similar emotions. The songs are a reflection of a search for healing and understanding, with the hope that listeners can find solace in the music and feel less alone in their own journeys.

Her path as a musician has been a true trial by fire, where each stage and each piece written or learned has been a step toward mastery. Without formal training, Cheyllo has crafted her own sound, honing her skills through perseverance and a relentless drive to grow. The lessons learned along the way help shape her sound, aligning with her passion for cello, and love for music. 
"When I started learning the cello, I fell in love with the instrument because it seemed like a voice - my voice." -Mstislav Rostropovich
