French born singer/songwriter Cedric Gauthier realized his love of music at an early age and began to develop his musical talent through guitar and song. Early in his career he moved to the Caribbean island of St Martin and formed his first band with English singer/songwriter Jon Rolls. The band can be heard on local radio stations (Island 92) and could be heard in local clubs and bars (Sunset beach bar, Rancho, la Bodeguita del Medio...). The band had showcased their two albums "Feel" and "Strawberries" (which was released in january 2005) as well as covered major influences including U2, REM, Bob Dylan, Crowded House and the Rolling Stones in over 100 shows a year.

Cedric spent his summers in Chicago where he took in the Blues and Rock traditions of the windy city. In Chicago he devoted his time to solo gigs, songwriting and the recording of his original material...but when the cold wind started blowing, his music carried him back to the islands...perhaps via the south of France to reunite with his french roots and enjoy a nice glass of red...


Starting january 2006 Cedric played a 192 shows run on the French Riviera, Italy and Switzerland, then returned to Chicago in april of 2007 to record a New Album with Chicago Blues Musicians. The New Album "I Wanna Tell You Something" was made available November 15th 2007, after about 50 shows in the South of France from june 14th to november 1st 2007. Yet another series of Shows started in Nice, France February 3rd 2008 and went on until Spring.

   Cedric is currently playing shows in the south of France (see TOUR), just released a Music Video for the  song "I Wanna Tell You Something", also writing new songs for an upcoming album as well as recording a song called "Eternity" that will be the soundtrack of a short movie written and directed by Julien Loeffler who directed Cedric's Video !
