Cecily
DC-based vocalist and songwriter Cecily, (pronounced ses-suh-lee), is known for her agile soprano and honest lyrics. Her sound, as soothing as it is rich, is rooted in a deep appreciation for mid-century soul and jazz, 90’s R&B, and re-imagined folk music. Cecily’s projects Songs of Love and Freedom and Awakening Pt. 1 have garnered her numerous accolades and awards, including being named one of the Best Soul Albums of the year by Bandcamp, a 2019 Wammie Award for Best Soul Album, SoulTracks Readers' Choice Awards nomination for Female Vocalist of the Year, a 2020 Indie Soul Music Award for Best Female Artist of the Year and a 2020 Wammie Award for Best Soul Song for her single, "Clumsy." which BET.com praised for its “gorgeously sultry vocals. “Spirit Tell Me” the first single from Awakening Pt. 2, will be released on November 11, 2020. Cecily’s eagerly anticipated continuation of the critically acclaimed Awakening Pt. 1, interweaves Cecily's life experiences with inspiration from the book All About Love by Black feminist writer bell hooks. She says, “I knew that this song of hope was desperately needed especially now.” Cecily is a featured vocalist on modern jazz and hip-hop stylist José James' latest project, No Beginning No End 2 (2020). She has opened for award-winning jazz and soul artists Gregory Porter, Jose James and Maysa, R&B stars Johnny Gill, Kenny Lattimore and Elle Varner, and alternative soul pioneer Bilal.
