My Chérie Announced as Nexus 2025 Interplay Program Participant

Nexus Arts' Interplay program offers a unique forum for contemporary musicians from culturally diverse and First Nations backgrounds to develop their practice, networks, and community. Interplay provides individualised and group-based development activities over the course of one year. The program aims to provide dedicated space for artists to develop, share and connect, bringing contemporary musicians together in the spirit of intercultural communication, exploration and creation.

Award-winning multi-instrumentalist and solo artist My Chérie (Elder Conservatorium Popular Music alumna Chérie de Klerk) is known for her mesmerising stage presence, ethereal vocals and songwriting that tackle raw and emotive topics, largely focussing on self-love and empowerment. Even with darker themes, her songs exude hopefulness and promise, striking a delicate balance between exploring the pain of personal growth, heartbreak and faith; exploring deep and relatable emotions while leaving listeners feeling empowered.

Having spent her childhood in South Africa, the impact and inspiration of her homeland and native Afrikaans is woven throughout her music, forming the basis of her transforming live shows. The heart of her performances is to create a unique experience for audiences and create honest and authentic connections. She was named 'Best Live Act in South Australia' in the National Live Music Awards in 2020.
