DJ CES

Cecelie Owens, better known as DJ Ces, is a Buffalo, New York native and retired elementary school principal with a deep love for House Music.

She was introduced to House Music in college during the 1980s by friends from Brooklyn, New York, who introduced her to the culture, sound and soul of the genre. What started as playing music at home gradually grew into sharpening her ear, developing a distinct sound and DJing at various venues throughout Buffalo.

DJ Ces also spent time on Power 96.5, where she played an hour of House Music on Friday nights, helping her gain experience and build confidence behind the decks. During the pandemic, she was invited to play on the Buffalo-based livestream Club Q, which further inspired her to grow as a DJ and deepened her connection to House Music culture.

Her sets focus mainly on Deep, Soulful, Afro, Gospel, and Jazz House – styles that reflect both her versatility and her deep appreciation for the richness of the genre.   Her sound is intentional, heartfelt, and designed to move both the spirit and the dance floor.  A true House Music lover, she also travels to House Music festivals in cities like New Jersey, Toronto, Atlanta, Houston, and Chicago, where the music, DJs, dancers, and atmosphere continue to inspire her.

DJ Ces is also a proud mother to Joshua Caleb and appreciates the continued support of her family and friends.
