Who is BIG CED?

Grade “A” in professionalism and knowledge of the entertainment industry. His support on both established and upcoming artists has heightened their visibility on a key note. CED is simply, one of the best and few who remain consistent in supporting our artists. Summed up — a gem to work with

Juanita Stephens Publicist-Media Relations-Artist Development-Client ConsultantJS Media RelationsAtlanta, GA

I honestly don’t know for sure. He is someone I crossed paths with over 20 years ago as I started my career in this black entertainment industry. He was the first person to offer me a feature profiling me as a new member of the industry on The Industry Co-Sign. He was and is funny, crazy, annoying overzealous, overbearingly braggadocios about his appearance in the MC Lyte video back in the day. He is someone with whom you never skip a beat; no matter how long it’s been since the last time you’ve clasped hands or shared a warm hello. It’s as if you’re picking up a conversation from yesterday. He never forgets you for an invitation to a birthday party (not sure if that’s a money making scheme or not) but he makes sure that your name is on the list. Seemingly a touch self-centered, he’s just extremely aware of his worth and knows that this industry always deserves better. He is a veritable living, breathing archive of urban entertainment history. His lisp is ever present; his laugh is contagious; he is always smiling. An all-around good person to know. Well connected (and we’re talking real connections here not just social media) and willing to share those connections with you. Because he knows that’s how we move forward. Together. I’m happy to know him in as much as I do. And although I know I don’t see him often, I’m positive he’ll never treat me like a stranger. Ever.

Big Ced is a passionate about the creative process of entertainment in all forums. He cares about the integrity of vision, relationships,and networking. I have never known Ced not to be a man of his word. I have never worked side-by-side you to know your temperament. I have never argued with you or cried because of you to determine whether you are selfish, mean, judgmental, etc. The Ced that I’ve always known for 20+ years has been a consistent friend who never stopped answering his phone for me whether I was on a hit show or unemployed. I know that you follow-through with your plan,you create opportunity for yourself and others and you work harder than most. I respect you!

Big Ced is just that, BIG! Big personality, big industry guy, big friend, big comedy fool! A real stand-up guy that I don’t keep in touch with but wish I would!

I’ve been in the industry since Hip Hop was a pup. I met Cedric many moons ago as he began working. Simply said, Cedric aka Big Ced, always had follow through and is a stand up guy. He’s always been honest, but no Boy Scout and definitely not a sucker! He always had a great pen, and his love for hip hop always shined through…
Big Ced…real good man!

Troy SheltonCo-Founder/CEOForthright Entertainment

Big Ced is an entrepreneurial and social media aristocrat. But most importantly, he is a huge supporter who is always there when you need him, a wonderful friend and all around good guy!

Tamekia M. Flowers-BallOwnerEpiphany|Blue®New York, NY

One of the most genuine people I’ve met in entertainment industry, it’s no wonder why he’s among everyone’s favorite people. He has never hesitated to support any of my projects for more than a decade in good faith which is becoming harder to find in a game where money is the bottom line. I am honored to be his friend.

BE'N ORIGINALPublisher/Editor in ChiefUrban MagaineNew York, NY

Wait.. how did I get on this? Well, he has a brilliant mind, so witty and funny. At first I thought he’d be the average then he just started to shine… Kevin Hart is one of the funniest guys out right now… oh I’m sorry… Big Ced? Well, I think he used to work for the circus as the bearded lady… well, that’s rumor so don’t quote me but Ced is like a switch board and a lot of information passes through him… Ok, Ced can you pay me now?

I had the honor of meeting Cedric Thornton at an event in New York around a decade ago (2006). I didn’t understand who he was at first. I thought he was a youthful, friendly, funny guy. As I got to know him though, I realized that Cedric (Big Ced) Thornton was much more. Cedric knew a lot of people and a lot of people knew him. I would soon learn that he, himself was a pioneer of contemporary, commercial, urban culture, having appeared in a few music videos to songs by Monie Love and MC Lyte, in his youth, among other things. Cedric has always been wise beyond his youthful appearance. His sense of humor never strays from the truth. My fondest memory of Ced, was when I was getting my feet wet with digital reporting, and he gave me a few writing assignments. He always referred to me by my last name, “Glinski” and I loved that! Cedric’s level of professionalism and respect, sets him apart. Whether publishing news to his forum, TheIndustryCosign, or holding weekly social events around NY, one could always count on Cedric to be mature and responsible – and also down to earth and funny.
Cedric is a great friend. He has maintained many friendships with people who he’s known most of his life, and has always been instrumental in bringing people together for a good time. Ced is famous for saying, “I don’t get involved; people involve me.” The original phrase is a testament to the fact that many people have confided in Ced, because they trust him. To know him, is to love him.
