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.
