Ceenote claims to never really have a music background besides the times he performed in church or at local talent shows. After, the event Ceenote just looked at life normal and always dreamed to be a Physical Therapist. It was June of 2004 when he realized his passion for music.Listening to Al Green, MC Hammer, Michael Jackson, and Ron DMC are a few of Ceenote's influences as he was growing up.
