Cedryl Ballou was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, on March 19, 1983. He made his music debut at the tender age of 5 years old. When Cedryl was 12, he was playing drums professionally with his grandfather Classie Ballou Sr.
Cedryl's love for Zydeco music is in his blood. Being of Creole decent, he has been around Zydeco music all his life. He received his first accordian at 14. That was all it took to make him the Zydeco man he is today.
Cedryl is now 24 and is playing to crowds throughout the Texas and Louisiana area. He has been playing Zydeco music professionally for three years and has released three albums. Cedryl had the first Zydeco video to air on television in central Texas. He also owns Trendsetter Zydeco Records, his own record label and publishing company.
Cedryl's band consists of: legandary guitarist Classie Ballou Sr. (Grandfather), bass guitarist Cedric Ballou (Father), multi-instrumentalist Cam'ron Ballou (Cousin), T. Zenon on the scrubboard and Sydney Pennie on drums. As you can see, this is definitely a family band and together they are known as "Cedryl Ballou and the Zydeco Trendsetters".
So if you hear that Cedryl and the Trendsetters are in town, then put on your dancing shoes and go see him. He puts on a show that you will talk about for a long time.
