add to your profile ------Biography----- Years before the emergence of a soon to be musically gifted, spirited and talented artist. Destiny was beginning to unravel and lay out the foundations of an unforseen, promising future... in which at the time was unimaginable... Even before Cesar Cortes Jr. inhaled his first lung-full of air, music was already running malevolenlty through his nerves.. Descending from families with musical & poetic backgrounds Ceze already had the foundations of a musical artist. The only ingredient left in this recipe is life. The experiences that would shape him into such a spirited and distinct individual. Cesar was born on the early morning of January 25, 1985 in Vineland, New Jersey. A city highly populated with a variety of hispanics, mainly with Puerto Rican descent. Vineland is a city full of hispanic heritage & culture with its Puerto Rican festivals, parties and parrandas. This was much of what Ceze came to witness in his early years. By 1 1/2 the toddler was beginning to catch on to songs heard from Univision and Telemundo. He was singing merengue and salsa songs at the age of 3 and even had his first interview recorded on tape. When it came time for elementary school Cesar was the lead singer in his school choir even singing the national anthem for the school’s independence day ceremonies. The next 4 years of his life would mainly be spent on piano & vocal lessons, singing at school, in church and with his father during performances on stage with his merengue/salsa group, “Proyecto X”. Cesar already knew his purpose by this time and would keep with this same motivation for the rest of his life... By the end of the 8th grade Cesar had transformed into “Ceze”. At this point he was playing drums for his school’s band and playing “timbales” at church and parties as well. At 14 years old he created his first group called “Sabor Latino”, and as Ceze progressed he wanted to evaluate how he would compare to the rest in the city, so therefore, he competed in numerous talent shows demonstrating his uniqueness to all witnesses. It has been since that time that Cesar has been a dominating performance everywhere he goes... Dancing and singing merengue, salsa, hip-hop, R&B, and reggaeton at such a young age left every audience in awe, admiring the fact that such a special talent had sprouted within this concrete jungle. Many throughout the community knew that Ceze was a singer by the time he entered high school, but little did he know that these would be the most emotionally and mentally influencial times of his life, trials that would mold him into the singer that he is today.. Dealing with problems at home forced the young teen to search for other means of rebelling and getting away from the stress... Soon after, Ceze wrote his first song and the rest is history.. The streets became an outlet for this juvenile, involving himself with others that had the same “ live life to the fullest, there’s no tomorrow” mentality. Walking the blocks of the inner city surviving, and being part of gang fights, and many other criminal activities. Ceze was viewing life in a completely different perspective, being victim to harsh experiences in romance, friendship, family, and street life would manifest him with the unrelenting, burning desire to excel over all obstacles, doubts, and hardships that life has to offer. A pursuit for perfection only overshadowed by the story of such a passionate and spirited young song writer with the unique ability to transform misery, love, anger, and happiness all into an extraordinary vocal flow with true to life lyrics and meanings. Many from around the area call him “cantante”, from which came the phrase.. “ El cantante del callejon”, and it stuck. The start of a new rennaisance in music has begun....
