Indie Artist Ceci Bastida was born and raised in Tijuana, Mexico. At the age of 15, she joined Tijuana NO as a lead vocalist, keyboardist and songwriter and became one of the first women to rise in the ranks of Latin rock. One of Mexico’s most important ska-punk bands of the 1990s, Tijuana NO performed together for 12 years and recorded three albums. In 2000, Ceci joined the band of Mexican alterna-pop icon and top-selling Sony/BMG recording artist Julieta Venegas and has been singing back-up vocals and playing keyboards with her ever since. Ceci is now embarking on her first project as a solo artist, going back and forth between Los Angeles, Austin, and Mexico working with various musicans and producers such as Jason Roberts (Plastilina Mosh/Control Machete), Michael Ramos (Charanga Cakewalk/Migrant’s Masterpiece: The Life & Legacy of Patricio Flores) and Andrew Williams. Ceci is currently co-producing her full-length debut with David Garza, which is nearing completion. She will be performing at Mexico’s biggest alternative music festival- Vive Latino and is included in the Voto Latino compilation, which reached number 1 on iTunes Latino.
Lately, Ceci has been getting exposure on influential radio station KCRW and performed live on Morning Becomes Eclectic. |
