A South Korean immigrant raised between Texas, and Canada, Cherrykim’s music reflects a rich
cultural mosaic, rooted in vulnerability, groove, and storytelling. Cherrykim is a Montreal-based
singer, songwriter, and producer crafting soul music for the modern era. Blending retro
influences from Motown, Chicano soul, and 70s R&B with contemporary production, his sound
is smooth, heartfelt, and timeless. As a multi- instrumentalist and self-produced artist, he brings a
rare personal touch to every track, channeling both the joy and ache of love through analog
warmth and modern sensibility.
