Ms. CC-ETTE was born in upper state New York to a strong black mother who filled my life with culture and a love for the arts. Music has always been a very important part of my life but family came first. I managed family life with faith, love and an appreciation for my blessing. Now! it is my turn to show myself the same faith, love, and appreciation by mastering my dreams. I returned to my love of words and music.

In 2001 I found my voice with poetry in public open mic nights. Until 2005 when I heard the most offensive spoken word ever, I had to walk away. Then I decided to control my own environment by hosting a lady’s night open mic in 2006. At the same time, I bought my first Music Creator Program and tough myself to create beats. Then in 2008 disaster struck my mother became ill and died then in 2009 fire consumed all my possessions and my daughter was hit by a car. What a setback not only did I have to start all over I also had to grieve and help my daughter. I thought my dreams were over but I was so wrong it was just the beginning. I learned no matter how hard life is it is still worth living and that is what I plan to do.

I love to hear words and beats that stir emotions, arouse the imagination and bring back memories good and bad. My poems were my first avenue but my beats helped me to find a deeper me. Now my words and my beats needed life. Who will sing them and breathe life into them; getting someone to do that proved to be quite a task. So, in 2011 I took another route I tried to learn to sing from others. However, funds were low and prices were high so now where could I turn to accomplish my dream.   

 So once again I had to try something new I went to YouTube and found vocal lessons and used them every day for 2 ½ years. Now opposition took it’s stand against me when those closest to me did everything in their power to bring me down. Saying you can’t sing your beats are nice but don’t sing you’re too old. WOW a knife to the heart, I always try to encourage not discourage. It was a negative blow to my psyche so I had to dig deeper, remove the negative and move forward and that I did.

My goal is to create lyrics and beats for lovers of the sounds of soul and those who appreciate a story. Some creations will be for sale others will be just for me. Each word and beat is from my heart and I want to share that love with all I meet. https://ccette1.wixsite.com/msccette
