CeeLo Green

Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&BFunkGospel

CeeLo Green is a Contemporary R&B and Funk act. Their catalogue also touches Gospel, House and Pop. Their sound grew out of Menahan Street Band, The Time, Tobe Nwigwe, Marc E. Bassy and Bruno Mars. Those roots explain a lot about how CeeLo Green arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Gnarls Barkley, John Legend, Macy Gray, Blackstreet and Estelle, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tech N9ne, Big K.R.I.T., Ed Sheeran, Skylar Grey and Denzel Curry, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 68 connections around CeeLo Green, reaching back through Menahan Street Band and forward to Tech N9ne.
