Biography

Sheryl Sheinafia Tjokro or professionally known as Sheryl Sheinafia is an Indonesian singer and former TV show co-host most known for her hit song ‘Kutunggu Kau Putus’ and appearance on NET TV’s Breakout.

Following the commercial success of her debut album, she was selected as a co-host for a music show called "Breakout" on NET TV in 2014. This proved to be a quintessential role that expanded Sheryl's career both as a media presence and presenter without disregarding her passion for music.

From hosting music centric TV shows to having her songs featured on movie soundtracks, music has been at the center of Sheryl's career advances. Albeit being a trailblazer for having a career across multiple industries, the recently independent artist's identity as a musician is her most notable persona.

Aside from commercial success, her music proves to be critically acclaimed. Her hit single ‘Kutunggu Kau Putus’ in collaboration with Ariel (lead singer of the band NOAH), earned a nomination for best pop collaboration in the Anugerah Musik Indonesia Awards. She ended up winning in a similar category (best duo/group/group performance/collaboration in R&B and Soul) 2 years later with her single ‘I Don't Mind’ in collaboration with Vidi Aldiano and Jevin Julian.

Her acting career is nothing short of outstanding, landing several leading roles in an array of films across different genres; Koala Kumal (2016), Galih & Ratna (2017), Bebas (2019), Wedding Proposal (2021) and her most recent horror hit, Tumbang Kanjeng Iblis (2022). Excellence proves to be a consistent theme throughout Sheryl's career as she continues to perform across the board. In 2016 she received the title "Breakthrough Actress of the Year" for her performance in Koala Kumal (2016) and 5 years later followed up with winning "Best Actress in a Comedy Film" for her performance in Wedding Proposal (2021).
