Who is BIG CED?

“CED is the plug; simple as that.”

Martin Berrios Senior Marketing ProfessionalNew York, NY

Who Is Big Ced
Big Ced is Diana Ross illegitimate son by David Ruffin..
I’ve known Ced for over 20 years he was a Roadie for the Stylistics ..
No but in all reality Ced is one of my oldest friends from when hiphop was fun and not about skinny jeans and rhymes about Bologna. He comes from a period where we were a community of creative people a magical era where we actually danced and looked forward to being fly not microwave shit like we listen too now. He is definitely a historian of our culture and just a all around GREAT dude . Proud to say he is my friend a real friend . No Hollywood shit with him at all .. Hey Ced just stop wearing corduroy suits in the rain and drinking Long Island Ice Teas with no Ice …

‘I have known Big Ced for many years and he has always been not only the consummate professional and an admirable go-getter, but a dear friend on whose support I could always count. Professionally or personally, Ced is someone you want on your team!’

Nancy ByronOwnerO.G.P.R.Houston, TX

Big Ced is a veteran in the entertainment industry that’s paved the way for some of the industry’s most prized possessions.

Echo HattixOwnerEchoing SoundzCalifornia

I’ve had the pleasure and some displeasure knowing Big Ced for the better half of 40 years! I’ve watched him create himself several dozen times for various reasons both professionally and personally. I’ve seen him change for family, for women, for work, for school & by choice. I could call him an innovator, I could call him a copycat, I have called him a promoter, an enthusiast, a writer, and a knucklehead and that was all on the same day. He’s been very fortunate with relationships that have allowed him to continue to rise to many varied occasions & He has not allowed the naysayers & detractors to destroy how great he is to himself or how great he could be in real life. He’s a pretty good friend, when he’s not giving advice, he’s a damn good son, but not always a good brother. He has taken shots, knots, go aways and plenty of Hell No Ced…but like the famous Timex slogan…he has kept on ticking…he’s A King In His Own Right or Mind…and he’s sometimes just too much…but when given the opportunity to do good with lil to say & lots of huffing, puffing and yawns…he’s a good guy with personality & wit to match! He’s a team player with the right team or a leader when asked to be so! Given the chance after he’s exhausted your patience…give him a little more time and the project he’s been entrusted to do will shine & prove his true worth! Ceds a good guy & a great friend! That is Big Ced when all is Ced and done! (Drops Mic & jumps out closest window!)

Before there was social media, you had Big Ced, a gatherer of people. He is more than a promoter or socialite. He hand picked people he liked or felt had some value and invited them to local bars, restaurants, night clubs, sporting events and various other places they probably had never been.
His ability to bring ground breaking thinkers, music artists, athletes, directors, models and moguls together is quite unique. Even in 2016, he continues to collect a eclectic group of movers and shakers.
I imagine he believes in you, before you believe in yourself.
He is a pioneering writer on the internet, before the word blogger and continues to use the platform to make social change.

Ralph McDanielsPresidentUncle Ralph Music and Film & Video Music BoxNew York, NY

He’s this guy from the Bronx who when I first REALLY met him, he was working with my girl Michelle Murray at this Video company called “Classic Concepts”. He came down Howard University between 1989 and1991. Mark Pitts said “Kamal, this is my man Ced”. From that point on all I remember was that he kept talking and was a little hyped because by this point they were THE video makers at the time and he had his little tight Classic Concept jacket on lol. I never liked the jacket anyway, so I left the conversation lol.
Fast forward through the 90’s, whether it was the music industry, events that I did and he attended or vice versa, or events, parties, functions that I saw him at, he and I have become good friends. We ran in the same circles. He’s never at a loss for words, not one – EVER. Always has something comical to say. Genuinely a good brother!
In more recent years, he has established a good internet presence, he’s a talented marketer, a good connector of people, and still creates social concepts and events to keep the people engaged. Let’s not forget, he is still never at a loss for words, not one – EVER lol!
