About

CECE VEE

Cece Vee is a South African singer and multi-instrumentalist with powerfully emotive music that features a blend of confessional lyrics underpinned by a modern-meets-retro synthpop style.

Cece has fast been making her mark in the music industry with her music landing placements on Spotify’s GLOW (Global playlist for LGBTQIA+ artists) and New Music Friday South Africa playlists, local and international blog coverage, radio airplay and chart success as well as on-air interviews on some of South Africa’s biggest radio stations. Recent career highlights include the use of her single, “Wild Hearts”, in an episode of the US TV series Good Trouble, as well as a SAMA (South African Music Awards) nomination in the public-voted category, Artist of the Year. Two of her singles, “Sucker” and “Wishes” reached the number 1 spot on the Jacaranda FM SA Top 10 chart, and “BITE” reached number 1 on the 5FM Pop Chart. As an actress and voice artist, she can also be seen playing the role of Roxy in Amazon Prime’s “The Morning After.”

Blending retro 80s influences with modern alternative pop, synthpop, and synthwave textures, her music creates a dreamy retro-futuristic atmosphere rooted in 80s pop nostalgia, culminating into her signature sound. Drawing from both personal experience and queer identity, her music explores themes of longing, self-discovery, heartbreak, and connection in ways that remain deeply universal.

Equal parts cathartic and emotionally raw, Cece Vee’s music invites listeners into her synth-pop universe where heartbreak becomes something you can dance to.

“Cece Vee is only making her debut and we can already tell she will be a singer to listen to in the next few months, so let’s lookout for this new talent that is proving herself more and more to the music industry.” – Conversations About Her (2021 – Review of Wild Hearts)
