Her latest creative project was the creation of her own girl group titled “Nasty Cherry.” With the creation of this band came the creation of a new Netflix series titled “I’m With The Band: Nasty Cherry.” 

The series follows Charli’s dream of creating a girl group that she wishes she had to listen and look up to when she was growing up. She picked four girls to form the band: Chloe Chaidez, Gabriette Bechtel, Georgia Somary, and Debbie Knox-Hewson. All of these girls did not know each other prior to forming the band - Charli picked the best people she saw fit to make this dream of hers come to life.
