Here’s more about Cedrice.

* She’s a San Diego based artist named Cedrice Webber who has also performed as Cedrice Ce.

* In a San Diego Voyager interview published in 2018, she credits her Auntie Sonjie for encouraging her to pursue the arts at a young age and says she used to listen to Christina Augilera’s first album “day in and day out.”

* She studied music and theater in a performing arts program in middle school, but was diagnosed with autoimmune disorder that caused her nails to become brittle and her hair to fall out.

* That, she said, led to severe bullying and feeling like an outcast.

* Her ethic background also led to identity questions — she’s part African American, but her skin isn’t dark. She’s part Irish and part German, but doesn’t look white. She’s part Filipino, but didn’t speak the language.

* She says she found her identity when invited to sing for a band called Abstrack during her college years. It was a perfect fit, she says, because of the wide range of music the band played. “If that band was told to pick and choose a box that best fits you in a generic survey, they would pick ‘other,'” she said.

* These days, when she isn’t singing, Cedrice is a motivation speaker on issues of identity and self-worth.

* And as a singer, she released a pair of singles in 2018 — “I Can’t,” a collaboration with Roann RO Mesina, and a song called “Woman” that is featued on her website. Check out the music video below.

* At the time, Cedrice said she part of a national speaking tour called Love Thy Neighborhood and working on an EP to be called “The Honest Hour.”
