This is his debut solo performance of his original compositions. Cedrice is a San Diego–born artist whose voice and presence embody transformation, mystique, and unapologetic truth.

She gained national attention on NBC’s The Voice (Season 18) with a sultry, jazz-inflected performance of “Fever,” showcasing her signature blend of elegance and edge. Cedrice doesn’t perform for applause; she performs to reclaim, reveal, and remind. Her voice is velvet with grit, her presence regal yet intimate. Describing her brand in five words: elegant, illuminating, mystical, sophisticated, simple, Cedrice draws inspiration from artists like Erykah Badu, Christina Aguilera, and Michael Jackson. With new music on the horizon, she continues to step into her role as a modern muse, inviting listeners to meet her not as a star, but as a mirror.
