Cher Bond - Guitar & Piano Lessons
Cher D. Bond is an inspirational Artist from Mercer, Tennessee. Cher is a self-taught musician, songwriter, composer, and producer. Cher’s musical skills consist of the bass guitar, lead guitar, drums, and keyboard. Cher developed an interest in becoming a guitarist at the age of five. Cher improved her musical skills by practicing for hours. For example, Cher would practice before she went to bed, while waiting on the school bus, and after coming home from school. Eventually, she had the ability to play most of the songs sang at home and at church.
The founder of the church Cher attended wanted to add other instruments to the music department. This, in turn, became a great opportunity for her and others to become exposed to various instruments such as the bass guitar, keyboard, and drums. Cher was determined to learn how to play each instrument.
At the age of fourteen, Cher began playing guitar for the Bond Family. This brought about a lot of exposure to her musical talent. The church choir director took notice of Cher’s talent and appointed her as the musician for the youth choir. From there, Cher was selected to be the lead guitar player for the Senior Adult Choir and in time was placed over the Music Department. Cher continues to hold that position at her church today.
Cher Bond now records and produces albums. Some of Cher’s accomplishments are as follows; in 2002, she produced her first gospel album entitled, “Look What You’ve Done for Me.” In 2003, she produced a 2nd album for her church entitled, “It’s All About Jesus.” Again, in 2008, Cher produced a third album, entitled, “I Remember.” Last, but not least, in 2010, Cher produced and released a fourth album entitled, “I’m Going to Heaven.” In December, 2014 Cher produced a single entitled “God is Good” and in February 2015 she produced another single entitled “Our Love is Special.” Cher Bond’s music can be viewed by visiting sounds4thasoul.com.
