Cedric Engels
Sonhouse
Co-Founder, Sound Director + Music Supervisor // Ads
Ghent
Born in 1987, Cedric started his musical career around the turn of the century. Hermanos Inglesos was born. An album followed on PIAS, which led to a signing with Sony Music. Cedric's parents always had been most supportive of his choices, but his father insisted he have a back up plan ready. So while working on music, Cedric went to Law school and specialised in Copyright Law and wrote a master thesis on sampling.
In 2011 he started his adventure in London with two goals: learning as much as possible at SAE-audio engineering / Middlesex University and inhaling the inspiring power of the Thames' shores. More than ever Cedric realised that he wanted to continue in sound. And he did: he co-founded Sonhouse to focus on the creation of sound identities in the world of film and brands.
His mission in life is to make people aware of the power of sound and the impact on our society, hence his book ‘The Power of Sound’ (picked up by BBC / TikTok ByteDance) and TEDx-talk on sound ecology.
