Cheryl Kaldahl

Original Music for Film, Media, and Collaborative Projects

Featured Collaboration: “Collaborations 2025: Keep Looking Up”

In the summer of 2024, I was invited by Joe Peters, The Joedai Warriors, to contribute to his album Collaborations: Keep Looking Up, a project centered on connection, perspective, and shared creative voice.

Working from lyrics by Frederick Michaels, I composed the music, performed the vocal and piano parts, and collaborated with guitarist Michael Kelsey. The piece was recorded in Michael’s studio, where the song took shape as an intimate blend of melody, texture, and storytelling.

The completed work was featured on Joe’s album and later in September 2025 performed live as part of a full concert experience at the Delphi Opera House, a setting that beautifully echoed the spirit of the project.

This collaboration reflects the heart of my work: bringing together voices, ideas, and emotion to create something that resonates beyond a single medium.
