CeCe Rogers: Journey through time and sound

CeCe Rogers is not just a name in House music; he's a cornerstone of the genre. From his roots in gospel and R&B, CeCe’s journey took an unexpected but pivotal turn when he recorded with the Godfather of House Music, Marshall Jefferson.

"Recording that song with Marshall Jefferson was a game-changer for me," CeCe reflects.

"It wasn’t just a track; it was an anthem that set the stage for my entire career."

Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, CeCe initially aimed to become a music teacher. However, a move to New York City and a chance collaboration with Jefferson transformed his path.

His collaborations with legends such as Luther Vandross, Janet Jackson, and Whitney Houston, as well as his role as the frontman of Jestofunk, showcase a career rich in soulful expression and musical innovation.
