Chery was responsible for several high-traffic playlists on Apple Music such as A-List: Hip-Hop and A-List: R&B. More notably, he was responsible for securing two Apple Music exclusive releases from Chance The Rapper, and publicizing artists such as Cardi B, Bryson Tiller, Post Malone, Khalid, Daniel Caesar, 6LACK and H.E.R.
Chery joined Apple after the company acquired Beats By Dre/Beats Music.
