Cherry Anne Leosala

Bicolana Songwriter, Performer, and Recording Artist

Born in Legazpi City and now based in Quezon City, she began her musical journey as a singer-songwriter and performer in the Bicol Region, where she honed her skills in songwriting, poetry, and creative writing. Influenced by her late grandfather, Juan Leosala, a full-time saxophonist who traveled across Bicol and learned music from American soldiers during the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines, her deep musical roots run through generations. Since 2016, she has actively competed in on-the-spot song and jingle writing contests, earning first, second, and third-place finishes. In 2018, her original composition was featured in a compilation album by the DepEd Albay Division, recognizing her as one of Albay's promising young artists. Her early exposure to radio guestings and studio recording began at the age of 14. She initially pursued Bachelor of Culture and Arts Education at the premier state university of the Bicol Region, Bicol University, before continuing her journey at the College of Music in New Era University. She is currently taking up Bachelor of Music in Music Education, studying under renowned classical musicians and professors from both the Philippines and abroad.
