Cecile
Style, wit, grace, intelligence, creativity and flare for controversy are all key components for a budding diva. Add a bit of sexiness, lethal body and stunning smile along with a large measure of talent and you've just defined the allure of Ce'Cile - Dancehall Diva on the rise! This self proclaimed 'Bad Gyal' has kept people guessing and tongues wagging since first captivating the Dancehall scene with the shockingly refreshing and thought provoking smash "Changez" (a self-produced track) which was designed as a marketing ploy by poking fun at her male counterparts and succeeded in propelling her into the limelight.
Ce'Cile takes up for women where accomplished artists like Lady Saw and Tanya Stephens leave off. Boldly demanding that men "Do It to Me", this eye candy knows how to get her point across and isn't afraid of the backlash adherent to pro-feminine declarations. Not to infer all her talent is cocked up 'inna her left breast' or by way of brash lyrics, but she is certainly not beyond using her body coupled with her brains to be a selling point in her career. After all Ce'Cile figures if someone is going to use her to sell their product, it might as well be her.
Ce'Cile's polished sultry sound has been widely recognized as she was recruited to perform Mya's verses with Beenie Man at the BET Harlem Block Party 2001 and with the bevy award nominations she's received over the years which include capturing accolades for; the Irie Jam Radio Awards, Jamaican Federation of Musicians, Martins International Reggae Music Awards, South Florida Reggae Awards, Stone Love Awards, Star Awards, Tamika Awards and more.
Ce'Cile's unique style enhanced the song "Can You Do The Wuk" with Sean Paul featured on his platinum selling "Dutty Rock" album. She's been recruited to perform this song on legs of his tours throughout 2003 including "the pre-award" party held for the Europe MTV Awards. Being a business savvy individual who's ingenious self-promotions got her thus far, Ce'Cile opted to sign a record deal for her debut album with Los Angeles based independent Delicious Vinyl Records.
While the upcoming album, Bad Gyal hasn't received an official date; it is being prepared for release Spring 2004. With a wide range of popular material bubbling on radio stations worldwide, slimming down her debut to 12-16 songs hasn't been an easy task. Currently her songs "Do It To Me" (scheduled for the album) and "Bare As She Dare" with Canadian artist Carl Henry on Dancehall's top COOLIE DANCE rhythm have been providing wide exposure and success. Other songs to be featured on the album include "Give It To Me" from the Salsa rhythm, "Murder", "Just For Tonight" and "Dance With Me". The album also holds potential to feature a recent collaboration with the sexy deep bassie singer/deejay "Bay-C" of TOK as well as Beenie Man and Lady Saw. Plus, there's the remix of "Bad Gal Bad Man" featuring the acclaimed energy god Elephant Man. Bad Gyal, the debut album promises variety and will showcase a wide spectrum of Ce'Cile's talent from captivating vocals always provide melodic hooks, to creative and witty lyrics! |
