Description
In this episode of Outside the Round, host Matt Burrill sits down with CeCe, a genre-blending artist originally from a small town in Illinois who now calls Los Angeles home. They reflect on the aftermath of an awards night, her roots in rural America, and how those experiences shaped her musical journey. CeCe opens up about her time on The X Factor, her move to LA, and how the COVID era forced a creative pivot that continues to influence her work today. The two discuss authenticity, trying new things, and why genre boundaries no longer matter. CeCe emphasizes the power of music as a tool for empowerment and shares how surrounding yourself with the right people can make or break your path in the industry. The conversation also touches on what’s next for CeCe and how she’s embracing her full artistic identity as both a creative and a collaborator.
