Ken Cedar has accumulated an impressive collection of credentials as a songwriter/music producer/programmer/audio engineer. Ken was born in Detroit, MI. Humming along to the vibrations coming from a vacuum cleaner while in his crib, it was apparent he would become a musician. He started out playing rock guitar but his musical path was circuitous and the influences eclectic. Performing across the country. Delving extensively into jazz theory and performance. But never forgetting his Detroit Pop, R&B, and Rock influences either.

Then Ken’s varied musical experiences and tastes were fully explored at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. He received extensive training in performance, arranging, audio engineering, production and synth programming.

After his education at Berklee, Ken moved to New York City where he took a job as assistant engineer at a beautiful “24-track” studio with a great drum room. He learned from the best in the best way possible—in the heat of battle.

In the midst of that, Ken was beginning his songwriting career. His first cut, ELECTRIC LADY by ConFunkShun, went to #4 on the Billboard R&B Singles Chart. Since then he has written and produced songs for numerous artists including Sweet Sensation, Shannon, Regina, Judy Torres and Carol Lynn Townes.

On many major label cuts and jingles Ken has also vocal produced, programmed, arranged, and engineered. He vocal produced the Tamperer hit dance album entitled FABULOUS, programmed and engineered on a number of Angel Moraes dance hits, and more. He has worked on a wide variety of major jingles including the popular VH1 “Pop Up Video” theme.
