The singer has hinted at the date on social media, exciting her Kenyan fans, although the organisers, venue, and ticket prices have not yet been announced.

Ce’Cile, whose real name is Cécile Claudine Charlton, teased the Kenya performance by addressing her “254” fans on her social media platforms. 

The news quickly spread across Kenyan entertainment pages, including local news outlets, as fans began anticipating a major December concert.

At the moment, only the date and country have been confirmed. Jamaica’s news outlet DancehallMag, the event is listed as a concert in Kenya on December 19, 2026, but says that the venue and other details were not provided.

Ce’Cile was born in Manchester Parish, Jamaica, and began building her music career in the mid-1990s. 

Before becoming a major solo artist, she worked as a studio manager, backing vocalist, songwriter, and producer, gaining experience behind the scenes in Jamaica’s music industry.

Her first big breakthrough came in 2001 through the collaboration “Can You Do the Work” with Sean Paul. 

The song appeared on Sean Paul’s album Dutty Rock, which sold more than two million copies in the United States and won a Grammy Award.

Ce’Cile is known for mixing smooth reggae melodies with strong dancehall energy. She has released albums including Bad Gyal, Waiting, Jamaicanization, Still Running, and Music + Magic, and has built a strong following in Europe and Japan as well as the Caribbean.

Kenyan fans know Ce’Cile for popular songs such as “Somebody Man” and “Talk Talk.” She has also worked with Kenyan artists, including Wyre and Willy Paul, which has helped make her music familiar to local audiences.

Her stage name and reputation as the “Bad Gyal” come from her bold, confident style. Over the years, she has been recognised as one of the leading female voices in modern dancehall, using her music to speak openly about relationships, women’s experiences, and life in Jamaica.

And it will add another celebratory mood for Kenyans who are avid fans of Reggae artists, who some of them like Luciano, Charly Black, Don Carlos and Glen Washington have visited the country in recent years
