Cecilio "Ceeloe" Negron Jr. comes from a family of musicians and performers. During Ceeloe's childhood, his father and uncle both played major roles in the Midwest music scene as musicians and band leaders. Having inherited his family's musical talents, Cecilio had a natural ability to express himself musically at a young age. With his parent's encouragement, he developed his musical skills. Cecilio started his studies of music at the age of five, at the Milwaukee Conservatory of Music. Even at this tender age, Cecilio became more aware of his family musical history and traditions. This experience has had a powerful effect on his life. Cecilio began playing professionally by the age of 16. As a "rookie" in the music game, Cecilio was able to gain a reputation around the city as a solid and versatile musician.
He has an extensive resume of performances at many local and national community centers, schools, business, arenas, clubs, music venues, and private events. He has worked with organizations like The Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, Milwaukee Public Theatre, The United Performing Arts Fund, The Boys and Girls Club of greater Milwaukee, YMCA, Milwaukee Public Schools, Latino Community Center, Marquette University, and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. These opportunities have given Cecilio the ability to design, manage, and facilitate his own musical ensembles, drumming workshops, drum circles, residencies, educational presentations and musical performances. Ceeloe's talents and experiences have allowed him to make music his life long commitment. Cecilio uses music and performance as a key to unlocking people's abilities to spread a positive vibe and message about change, and improvement in our world and the human race.
