CeCe Sammy was born in Trinidad, home of the biggest carnival in the Caribbean and soca music. Sammy said she grew up obsessed with Classical music after watching flamboyant, who she considered her first creativity coach, piano impresario Liberace performing on TV.

"Even someone working in finance, retail, or manual labor has creativity inside them and, what’s more, I think creativity is essential and should never be ignored. It does not matter what kind of family you come from. We all need creativity," CeCe says.

CeCe Sammy has also given free books to many state schools across the country for use in their library, as CeCe wanted the children to have the same opportunity for self-help.
