Having considered the San Francisco Bay Area home, he began playing in many of the local restaurants and clubs. It wasn’t uncommon to hear him playing an afternoon jazz brunch followed by an R&B gig late that night. This, in part, was because of his love for many different styles of music as we as his love for various composers.
He has recorded with numerous bay area groups(Narada Michael Walden, The Braxton Brothers, Ledisi and Anibade, Ricardo Scales, Jean Carne, Dave and Zoe Ellis) as well as many east coast bands(Teodross Avery, Rueben Wilson). His live performances with these and other artist have taken him all over the world(Switzerland, England, France, Russia, Washington DC, Chicago, Houston and Detroit).
Cedricke always seems to be searching for new ways to express his highly captivating and emotionally riveting music. It’s always front and center in his evolution as a musician. As the quest continues for this “new expression”, his fans will be in for a real treat.
