Ceejay

Age: 24

Location: Stanger

Third time lucky – that saying applies to Ceejay, the musician who didn’t receive a Golden Ticket in season 16 before narrowly missing out on a place in the top 16 during season 17.

Now he’s back and excited to hit the Idols SA stage again.

“I’m a shy and lowkey guy, but then on stage I become Ceejay the superstar because I want to entertain the audience. I haven’t reached the level I want to reach, but I am ready to occupy the stage vocally and spiritually,” he says.

Describing himself as down to earth and humble, Ceejay is close to his family and says he’s a considerate person whose ultimate love is music. Growing up in a musical family – his parents were in a band together – he spends his time singing, making beats on his computer and playing instruments.

His musical heroes are Afrotraction, Blaq Diamond and Sjava – “his music has a message and I love the way he delivers it”.

Whether or not he wins the ultimate prize, he’s excited to work with and learn from music professionals and to gain exposure for his talent during his time on Idols SA.
