Cecil

One third of the head honcho's of artfuldivision, Cecil hails from the midlands city of Leicester, that recently has become less known for it's hosiery and more for it's deep house. Cecil was brought up on a diet of 80's indie music, Jazz, Reggae, blues, Hip-Hop and whatever else he found in his mum's vinyl stacks. He soon discovered House and with it the early sounds of Detroit, Chicago, and New Jersey. Cecil stumbled upon two like minded individuals, with which he played marathon back to back 6 hour sets in a small basement in Leicester. Nights that gave Cecil a solid understanding of what works and what doesn't, and a passion to stamp his own imprint on the sound he loves. Together Cecil and studio partners Jon Brooks, have taken to drinking plenty of red wine and late nights, creating a sound that they would play at their own nights. Many an empty wine bottle later, has seen the three have a handful of tracks snapped up on various labels. 2012 saw Cecil and Jon Brooks' idea turn into reality with the launch of their own label artfuldivision, with their first release playing host to Detroit royalty. artfuldivision has already received some hefty support from some of the biggest heads in the game, and there's still plenty more to come.
