Eagle-Eye Lanoo Cherry (born 7 May 1968) is a Swedish singer and stage performer.

He has released several other albums since his debut, and has co-written for other artists and films, and has guest-starred on reality television. Cherry's music is of the acoustic, rock, post-grunge and alternative rock genres.
Early life.
Cherry was born on 7 May 1968, in Stockholm, Sweden, the son of American jazz artist Don Cherry and Swedish painter/textile artist Monika Cherry ("née" Karlsson). Of Choctaw descent through his paternal grandmother and African-American through his grandfather, Cherry is the fourth of five siblings. He is the half-brother of singer Neneh Cherry (his mother's daughter with Ahmadu Jah). Other half-siblings are violinist Jan Cherry, Christian Cherry, and jazz musician David Ornette Cherry. At the age of 12, Cherry was sent to school in New York City. He remained there to work as an actor and a drummer in various bands. At 16, he enrolled in the High School of Performing Arts in New York in the same class as Jennifer Aniston and Chaz Bono.
Career.
In 1988, Cherry was credited as "Teenager" in the film "". In 1989 he was credited as "Vet #1" in Born on the Fourth of July. In 1993 he starred on the short-lived NBC action/adventure television show "South Beach".
Cherry's father died in 1995. He returned to Stockholm to focus on his music rather than an acting career. He began writing and recording his debut album, "Desireless", in his bedroom studio on an acoustic guitar. According to manager Tommy Manzi, Cherry's perfectionism made him keep the recordings under wraps until the album was virtually complete. The album became a commercial success throughout the world. "Desireless" sold four million copies worldwide and was certified platinum in the United States.
Cherry co-wrote and sang on "Wishing It Was" on Santana's 1999 album "Supernatural", as well as in films such as Wim Wenders' "The Soul of a Man", "Y tu mamá también", "The Love of the Game", "GO", "Best Laid Plans", "Holes", "Billy Elliot" and "Over Her Dead Body". Some of his best-known songs include "Save Tonight", "Falling in Love Again", "Are You Still Having Fun?", "Long Way Around", "Feels So Right", "Skull Tattoo" and "Don't Give Up".
