Neneh Cherry

In 1987, she met Cameron McVey at the airport Heathrow, and both were sent to Japan as models. They married in 1990. Cameron helped her make her first album, Raw Like Sushi, and together they also formed the band Cirkus. The album was a hit, and a song, Buffalo Stance, became a global success.

The song was recorded while she was pregnant. She performed it back to back in Top of the Pops, something that caused a lot of controversy. Although it was not the norm, the song ended up being number one in the United States and number three in the United Kingdom. At the same time, her stepfather, Don Cherry, died of hepatitis. The family moved back to Sweden and stayed in the house where Neneh grew up.

Later, she moved to Spain, then to London, and finally back to Sweden. Now she lives between Malmö and her hometown. Her daughter had a child, and now she is a grandmother. Her brother is also a musician, and her mother was an artist. Music was always part of her life, from a young age.
