About Us
Debbie is a songwriter who has always loved to create personalities and
voices for stuffed animals. In the late 80’s, she learned to use ventriloquism
with her bunny, Cherry, and began looking for ways to use her new skill in
children’s ministry. Cherry took over the songwriting, and soon Debbie and
Cherry had two weekly ministries with abused children: a toddler group
home run by Olive Crest, a Christian nonprofit in Southern California, and
Pacific Youth Correctional Ministry, a Christian ministry that sent
Sunday morning volunteers into Orangewood Children’s Home, a county
shelter. Debbie and Cherry continued these two ministries until they moved
to North Carolina in 2005. Cherry made it easy to connect with the kids
and build trust. The children would sit still just long enough to hear a bunny
sing a song! Cherry’s fun Bible songs multiplied and Debbie began getting
accompaniment tracks to make the music more interesting.
​
Debbie and Cherry have developed their songwriting craft through
workshops like “Write About Jesus” and the Nashville Christian
Songwriters. Their music producer, Dennis Dearing (“Menace Music”), and
other talented people have enhanced the quality of their work over the
years. They have recorded many albums and have dreams to develop
other exciting products to bring God’s Word to children. Cherry’s songs hop
from one music style to another, including “country bunny,” “blue grass
bunny,” and even “rock-n-roll rabbit.” Besides recording, Debbie and Cherry
minister by performing in churches, schools, and senior adult facilities.
