“There are some people who refuse to be boxed into any particular category, who rail against any labels, people who refuse to wear the straitjacket of conformity. People for whom the word ‘genre’ is anathema.” This is how the Jamaica Observer chose to describe the music, style and sound of Cezar. With his genre fusing brand of reggae soul taking influences from a multi faceted spectrum, he has emerged as a truly multi dimensional and multi talented artiste. With an uncanny ability to expertly straddle the different sonic sound scapes emanating from Jamaica he has evaded simple singular description & earned a reputation for great lyric writing & a wonderful voice. In an age of genre specialists and genre specifics, the focus in Cezar’s case has shifted to him, that voice, his pen & his guitar. All the while bridging genres & perceptions of how & what Jamaican music “should” be.
Upcoming singer-songwriter & talented producer Cezar is one to watch. He has written songs for other artists such as Tami Chynn, Wayne Marshall and Machel Montano to name a few. His “guitar” can be heard on the popular”Stepz” rhythm. He has collaborated with quite a few artists including Flabba, Master Lee, Gee-Jam studios Alborosie & Grammy nominated producer David Kennedy, with whom the soon-to-be-released ‘Keep On’ was recorded. Among his newer releases are ‘Wasted Seasons’, ‘Take the Fall’ produced by Zero Gravity, is a lilting ballad about letting go of ones fears & giving into the vulnerability of being in love.
