PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED BY CHERYL!
Yes Cheryl 'Bubba' Mann is also a music journalist and now in high demand for her skills and contacts as well as her highly respected reputation for finding the best rising bands from around the world
Cheryl will only be doing any of the below options for bands she loves, so please submit your band to her first in this email - cherylmann05@gmail.com with an EPK and the Tier you are interested in, see below for all details and please read all info
Cheryl has limited time and very high demand, so will only be working with bands she actually loves, if you get rejected, this is not a reflection on your music, only that it is not to her taste this time or she just doesn't have enough time this time
Unsure if she will like you? Please check all interviews done to get an idea of the types of bands she likes. Please do not feel discouraged either as music taste is subjective. You can always try her again if you make new music too. PS she loves everyone from Dolly Parton to Slayer! Try her!
Cheryl is here for the music and is a music fan first and foremost - a journalist second - her main aim is to support the band and help raise their profile as much as possible. It will never be one and done if she loves your band.
‘My main goal is to find as many great rising bands as possible to get as much of their music out there as I can. The music industry is hard and even harder for the newer bands to even get people to listen to them. I have interviewed so many great bands from Supergrass to Slayer to Slipknot, I also noted The Hives and The Libertines as rising bands back before they blew up and even mentioned that Yungblud was going to be huge way back when he first started out! My speciality is finding and recognising bands that are making waves and are of high quality. A rising band, to me, is a band that can be going for 2 years or 20 years, but are starting to make waves now and not everyone has heard of them yet. That is what I am looking for, bands who take this seriously and want this badly, with insane talent. I will listen to songs and if I am into it, I will do whatever I can to shout about them using my platforms, journalism skills and contacts in the industry.’

HOW TO WORK WITH CHERYL
Submit your band with EPK here- cherylmann05@gmail.com plus include which Tier you are interested in using and wait for a response, (can take up to 5 working days depending on demand at the time) if you get approved - we will respond to your email either way, then select from the below list what suits you best.
Cheryl will always go above and beyond no matter what you choose so do not be surprised if you get a little extra sometimes too, especially if she loves the band. If you are declined this time, please do not be disheartened, Cheryl has very limited time for the interviews and as a result has to be highly selective. It does not always mean she doesn’t like the band either and may suggest story shoutouts or reaction reels instead, otherwise, it may just not be her taste and that's ok too. Keep rocking and never give up!
If you do want the full interview with UK radio play (Tier 1) please do ensure you have at least 5-6 songs released and be aware these spots are highly sought after and we do have a 4-6 month waiting list depending on time of year
Cheryl has worldwide followers with the main bulk being UK, USA, Ireland and Finland
The main followers are fans, other bands, brand new bands looking for rising bands to look up to for advice, bigger name bands and of course industry professionals. Following totals closing in on 300k across all platforms, packed with potential fans and industry professionals from management, labels, popular musicians, promoters and more
Cheryl has a goal to gain value from bands she interviews on growing as a band and making waves to help brand new bands starting out with a goal to stop them giving up due to the overwhelming modern music industry. She receives messages daily from these new bands asking her to ask the bands how to keep hope going! Let’s work together to gain as much value and inspiration for these new generations to keep rocking and keep going. Human made music will always win in the end!
