Charisse has paved her way into the entertainment industry by creating her own unique style of music. With her ability to sing opera in six languages (French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish and English), she has fused her vocal talent and passion for EDM/pop music to form a music genre called “Pop’era.” Charisse has performed for dignitaries all over the world, including President Bill Clinton, President George W. Bush and the Reverend Jesse Jackson. She also collaborated with Grammy-winning R&B artist Ne-Yo on his 2015 single, “Integrity.”
Charisse’s first single “Champagne,” was co-written with hip-hop artist French Montana, Warren Zavala and Brandon Howard and features raps by Montana. Other singles include “Gypsy Woman,” “Put in Werk,” “One in a Million” and her summer of 2018 anthem, “Champion.”
Charisse and her mother are also the co-founders of C.Moi apparel. The company sponsors the Princess Program, which provides custom-made prom dresses to underprivileged youth. She also recently launched the Charisse Mills Foundation, providing aid to children around the world.
