She is also performing December 15 at the Perfect Note Jazz Restaurant in Hoover.*Birmingham gospel recording artist, Cheryl McWhorter, recently released her new single titled “No More.” The single was co-produced by Birmingham composer, Lincoln Byron Morgan Thomas and is meant to bring consciousness to the problem of domestic violence. A percentage of the proceeds from the single will be donated to safehouses across the country. In addition to being a gospel singer, McWhorter is a survivor of spousal abuse and the founder of No More, a ministry to victims of domestic violence. McWhorter is known for blending Christian melodies with smooth contemporary sounds of jazz, traditional gospel, and a sampling of neo-soul. She got her musical start early. Her father, a pastor would frequently call her up to sing before and after his sermons when she was only seven years old. Her mother, lead singer of an a cappella gospel group would have her to fill-in when one of the group’s members could not attend an event. Soon she was singing everywhere she could; at church and in local talent competitions, a pattern that continued all the way through high school. She completed her 11-track debut album, *Cheryl McWhorter: My Story My Song,* in 2016. Learn more at [www.cherylmcwhorter.com](http://www.cherylmcwhorter.com)
