It Needs To BE CED

Who is BIG CED?

And you can quote me: The Big Ced I know is a faithful friend….yet to meet many like him, period

Zachary MabryMartial Arts Fitness InstructorNew York, NY

Big Ced is an industry legend. He is not only a real journalist but is a leader with an inclusive attitude. I am always grateful for Big Ced giving me my first interview.

Syreta OglesbyOwnerSJO PRNew York, NY

I had the honor of meeting Cedric Thornton at an event in New York around a decade ago (2006). I didn’t understand who he was at first. I thought he was a youthful, friendly, funny guy. As I got to know him though, I realized that Cedric (Big Ced) Thornton was much more.

Cedric knew a lot of people and a lot of people knew him. I would soon learn that he, himself was a pioneer of contemporary, commercial, urban culture, having appeared in a few music videos to songs by Monie Love and MC Lyte, in his youth, among other things.

Cedric has always been wise beyond his youthful appearance. His sense of humor never strays from the truth. My fondest memory of Ced, was when I was getting my feet wet with digital reporting, and he gave me a few writing assignments. He always referred to me by my last name, “Glinski” and I loved that! Cedric’s level of professionalism and respect, sets him apart. Whether publishing news to his forum, TheIndustryCosign, or holding weekly social events around NY…

Hana GlinskiManaging PublicistHana Associates PR™New York, NY

Big Ced,

 

A man who lives and loves music! A man who is dedicated to introducing to some and presenting to others the talents of artist, producers, and musicians. A man who works hard at networking, and building relationships with music industry professionals, both cooperate and creative. Someone who enjoys offering his gifts and talents for the love of music. Who is Big Ced?. it’s simple. One of the most highly respected men in the industry that I call Friend.

Stix BonesMusician/ProducerNew York City

Big Ced is an enigma within the Hip Hop culture! As soon as you think you’ve got him figured out…you find out you don’t! His truthful and blunt personality is not a persona…it’s the real deal Holyfield! So, if you can’t hang with honesty or if you don’t understand why people jump up around him shouting “facts only!”…then you probably need to stay out of the way! Because Ced pulls no punches and takes zero prisoners. Which is why he is one of my favorite people in this community! He doesn’t deal in phony…and I appreciate him for that! If he says it…then it is so…period!

Skyy HookOn Air PersonalitySirius XM/Shade45's The World Famous "Wake Up Show"New York, NY

Big Ced is…

The only guy that can look like Bernie Mac AND Ma$e at the same damn time.
Hit The Road Sam from the MC Lyte “Paper Thin” video
The geeky trifocal glasses wearing mofo from the “Monie In The Middle” video
Matter of fact…he’s the first male video vixen.  He’s a Mixen.
Real talk tho…  He’s a good dude.  Pause.
He’s a great entertainment resource to have and he’s a good mentor, big brother figure and friend.
But he’s still sarcastic as hell.
Even though most of his jokes be missing the mark, we still laugh along with his punk azz.
He’s like a termite… or is it the cockroach… he’ll be around forever.
Ok for real now?  Who’s this Big Ced guy you’re asking me about? Never heard of him.

Big Ced is the real deal and one of the best kept secrets in NYC.

Charlotte BurleyProducer | Creative Ideation & Branding Libra Baby Burley Productions, LLC, The T.O.S. NetworkLos Angeles, CA

When I think of Big Ced, what comes to mind is a well respected industry vet who has worked at huge media publications such as Black Enterprise, Vibe and The Source to name a few.  A passionate and dedicated journalist who is an  innovator that created a platform of his own, his website, The Industry Cosign, which he has held down for over 12 years.  I am privileged and blessed to know him and I am inspired and motivated by him.

Kathy LiautaudPublicistKLPR Group, LLCNew York, NY

I’ve known Big CED for almost 20 years now, and what I like about him most is that he’s still the same person now that he was back then! In this business it’s hard to find genuine people, especially because the power of one’s network along with success and money can often times change someone’s character. But not CED, he is one of the most coolest people I know, and is also the only guy that I can call a smart-ass, but in a cool way (haha). In addition, CED is very opinionated, he’s a realist, and you always know where you stand with him.

Fred TessierFounder | Managing Director, Business Operations and StrategyKeen Management Group, Inc.New York, NY

If I had to explain Big Ced in one word I would decline to answer. Someone as ever-changing, ever-growing, ever-learning, as Big Ced can’t be colored with one box of crayons.

I have known Ced for about two-thirds of my life and in each phase he has challenged himself to do something NEW! Fearless, honest, talented, and real (not in any order) Ced is Hip-Hop;Ced is entertainment; Ced is the one-percent of decent human beings in a business that constantly attempts to compromise your moral foundation. Ced is a producer (Bet not many know that) Writer…Speaker and perpetual student.

Big Ced is a brother…a friend…a leader and a teacher! To those who know him, Big Ced is a blessing!
