Ceci Juno

Ceci Juno is an Ecuadorian singer-songwriter, composer, and music therapist who has dedicated her life to exploring music in its many forms. Despite them being very different facets of her work, she realized that her purpose is making music for the common good. Experimenting with different styles from pop and rock to R&B, Ceci Juno has always loved making music for her and for those who identify with it.

Ceci started her career as a solo artist in 2017 with the release of her first EP 'Libre|Espacio', which she started producing during her studies at Berklee College of Music. The opportunities that came with this release paved the road for the production and release of her first album 'Fantasmas' (2019), which consolidated Ceci Juno as one of the singer-songwriters from the Latin American independent music scene with a successful tour around several countries in Latin America. During 2020, Ceci released important collaborations with Chilean, Mexican, and Colombian songwriters such as Benjamín Walker, Borbolla, Juliana Velásquez, y Pilar Cabrera.

Ceci has shared the stage with artists of ample trajectory such as Armando Manzanero, Jorge Drexler, Erlend Øye, Monsieur Periné, and Bomba Stereo and describes these experiences as some of the most important in her career.

Ceci is currently promoting her second album ‘Temporal’, which she started writing during the pandemic and it narrates the many transformations of someone who's gone through an important spiritual awakening, impulsed by the realization of how fragile life, relationships, permanence, and all of the things that we take for granted are.
