I am a descendant of a long line of musicians and vocalists, born in 1970 in Los Angeles, California; I became interested in singing at the age of 3. At a very early age, my talent was realized. I sang my first solo in front of hundreds of elementary school students at the age of 12, wrote my first song at the age of 13, and recorded for the first time at the age of 14. After many courses in music, vocal lessons and constant solo appearances within the church, I felt comfortable enough to begin recording with other acts. In 1992, I recorded with a small rap group located in the Pacific Northwest. In 1993, I began performing at The Rain Tree, a local nightclub. 1994 I won several talent contests, which exposed me to a wider audience. During 1995 I displayed my talent in a local version of ShowTime at the Apollo held at the Rialto Theatre. In 1996, I blossomed as a live performer at The Vault, another local nightclub where I developed and perfected my live act. By the time I was 25, I acquired a vast amount of experience from performing in front of large crowds. In the summer of 1998, as my star began to really shine, I opened for the late comedian Rudy Ray Moore, AKA Dolomite, at the Temple Theater in Washington State. During 1999 through 2001, this 31 year old vocalist recorded vocals for Ocean Records Recording Artist “Azarel” as well as other local recording artists. On December 8, 2009, I made my radio debut. I was featured on Hooah Radio; a veteran owned and operated internet radio station with a world wide listener base in 175 countries which equals 77.7% of all countries. During 2010 I had the pleasure of singing with Darren Motamedy a local Jazz musician, at the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn Washington. I’m currently writing and recording my own music in hopes of sharing my life’s testimony through song. “Singing makes me feel alive; Performing is one of it's perks." - Cecret Jones

Lyrics
won't be neglected I won't be denied The pleasure of your kissed The pleasure of your smile I think you take for granted I'll always be here Just because I love you It doesn't mean I won't disappear CHORUS Been so long . . . of missin' you, baby Been so long . . . of missin' you, baby Thoughts and mellow memories Of once upon a time Slowly creepin' on me And they linger on my mind Just let somebody love you I just don't know why Whenever I get close to you You want to run and hide CHORUS It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby We began lovers' dance The road was smooth to romance And we sang love sweet song every day I believe that love would stay in my heart Now it's torn all apart It's gone away, I can't stay, I've got to say I don`t believe that you could do me this way Now don't you understand I'm in need of comfort The comfort of your hand in mine And what I feel inside Why don't you come closer I can't hide Been so long Been so long . . . can't hide Been so long Been so long . . . it's too long, won't you come on, baby Been so long . . . won't you come home, see about me see about me Been so long
