Congratulations are in order for CeeLo Green! The ATL singer, songwriter, rapper, record producer and actor was honored on Tuesday by the Dekalb County Board of Commissioners. CeeLo was awarded with the District 1 African American Music Appreciation Month Trailblazer Award for his contribution to music, culture, and his "indelible mark on the entertainment industry."
CeeLo attended Benjamin E. Mays High School and Riverside Preparatory Academy, and according to the Dekalb Commissioner Robert Patrick, "CeeLo has profoundly impacted the music industry with his soulful voice and unmatched showmanship, but it is his business acumen that truly sets him apart – he is a true 'entertainment brand. '" DeKalb Commissioner Patrick goes on to say, "Watching him perform in my district at the grand opening of Assembly Studios in Doraville was absolutely captivating."
