What can you say about 'Cee Cee' Collins?    Well as some have reported . . .  . “Straight up! No Chaser!”      “...she gives a Two-Fisted Blues Assault and is known for saying, “This ain't no dressed rehearsal, and there is no curtain call . . . . there's only one shot at life, so do you . . . .  and do you well!”  "She has a solid blues voice and the stage presence to compliment it."

Detroit Blues Society

 

     Born in Detroit, Michigan, Cheryl Collins (aka Cee Cee) has been pleasing crowds of numerous genres since age seven when she started singing in church, although her singing career started around age 15, when she joined her first band, Union Pacific. Even though she began singing Soul & R&B, Cee Cee realized early on that Blues & Jazz had a special place in her heart. Cee Cee graduated from Cass Technical High School and attended Wayne County Community College and Kaplan University. She served in the USMC (United States Marine Corp) and upon release began working in corporate America.

 

     In her 30's, Cee Cee moved to Atlanta, Georgia which allowed her to expand her musical talents and also gave her the opportunity to live in Madrid, Spain, performing as one of The New Supremes. 

 

     Upon returning to the United States, Cee Cee began singing with the Detroit Underground Blues Band, performing at various venues throughout Michigan.  In 2000, they recorded their first CD entitled "Colorblind" (which features two of Cee Cee's original songs) and their second, "'Live' at The Dally" was recorded one year later.
