Dance your pain away is a strong « feel good » song, about releasing your pain, and letting go. With this retro back to the 80's track, no pain relief or medication needed. Just close your eyes, listen, follow the lead and dance your pain away!
As a little girl, Licia Chery wanted to "talk to music".
She started the learning piano at age 6, and discovered Soul music a few years later.
Born and raised in Switzerland by haitian parents Licia Chery craved for references during long time. With Soul music, she could finally see
artists who looked like her physically, and
who were talking to her soul: Otis Redding, Billie Holiday, Ray Charles, Etta James...
So many role models who influenced
and inspired her. She they became her
heroes.
Growing up, she wrote, composed and
performed live.
Knowing that strenght is unity,
Licia Chery counts on those who
support her to share her messages.
It is with their support that she
won the Caribana contest in 2009, then raised 100'000€ on a crowdfunding website.
Musically, she's eclectic, but Soul music that she mixes with pop in 2012 on her album Blue Your Mind, then with rock in 2015 on her album Inspiration, is always prevailing.
Whether her message is deep or light, Licia Chery wants to inspire joy. Passionate and courageous, she follows her instinct and takes the bet to mix past and present, heritage and progress...
The fact that the perfect being is unperfect makes her understand that the definition of a hero might be different than what we think: to be a hero is to be strong but also honest, vulnerable, sensitive,
passionate, instinctive...
With this definition, Licia wants to be a hero for others.
Her coming EP shares a soulful voice, a retro vibe and a vibrant energy. It's a journey through the 60's, the 70's and the 80's and it's an ode to life!
It is the symbol that even if we grew up without a role model, we can always become the role model we wanted to have.
