Classically-trained Ceyeo is a songwriter, vocalist and producer from Chicago. Ceyeo’s interest in theme-based albums sparked the creation of ‘Machine Learning’ in 2022, which is about moving forward in a world of alienation and inequality to anyone who doesn’t fit the norm. His second album ‘Baby I Care,’ released in 2023, was themed on caring, hope, optimism and positivity.
For his third album, titled ‘Together They Were Nothing,’ Ceyeo focuses on the themes of anger, anxiety and despair due to unhealthy relationships, greed and the lack of unity in the world.
In making ‘Together They Were Nothing,’ Ceyeo took a unique approach to first compose 10 classical piano etudes, for inspiration, and then produced those classical pieces into indie rock by adding rock instrumentation, synth layers, and vocals. The result is a clear evolution in Ceyeo’s writing and his most accessible album yet.
The first single for Together They Were Nothing, titled ‘Confession’ releases on February 16, 2024, with the full album releasing in October.
Salana
OK!
There is some things, everybody knows
They are in a book, so you can buy it!
I went to a school, but did not get wiser
I got a job, and I’m still getting over it
Another wasted day, Salana
They can’t all be gray, Salana
The work is never done, Salana
Still need to have some fun, Salana
Lets go!
I flew over the midwest, I think I saw some cows?
Then I got a dog, and she’s got a squishy face
We went in a room, and it had no end
And it had no ceiling, maybe it wasn’t a room after all?
Another wasted day, Salana
They can’t all be gray, Salana
The work is never done, Salana
Still need to have some fun, Salana
