Cherylyn Barnes

Meme superstar Cherylyn Barnes is a musician from Campbelltown, Australia. Barnes was first able to connect to the internet after winning a MacBook in a library competition, and made accounts across all social media platforms with the help of her friend’s son, Marshal, where she passionately asserts herself as the “Moist” queen! Her YouTube channel evolved into a home for a ragbag of visionary content when she became tired of being home alone while her husband worked. Her fascinating anecdotes about her daily life, as well as making and releasing cooking instructions, acting demos, and music videos, have all contributed to her success.

Barnes debuted as a vocalist in 2014 when she released her first music video for “Aussie Girl.” She continued to produce and release music while her online following grew across all of her social media channels and she gained huge attention. Barnes released her first EP, “Gay Guys,” in 2015. She chose to hone her voice and create “Moist,” her most meme-able song and video on the internet, after becoming a cult favourite among her fans. “Moist” has received over 390,000 views online, as well as over 61,000 Spotify streams. With the support of her long-time collaborator and soulmate, Davey Duzit, she released a trap pop track called “Bussanut” in 2019. In 2021, Barnes released the single “Fairy Bread”, and followed it up with “Feelu” the following year.
