Cedric Cedrano turns "Crashed Love" into a self-directed video debut

The singer-songwriter released a single last autumn and a homemade video this September. The public record is short, and that is the point of catching him now.

Cedric Cedrano has one song out, and he has put real work into it. "Crashed Love" arrived as a single on Apple Music on October 17, 2025, filed under pop, with a copyright line in his own name and no label listed. Deezer shows the same date and the same format: a lone single, running about four and a half minutes.

That is the whole discography so far. It is also a clean starting point for a new artist.

A video made close to home

On September 2, 2026, Cedrano put a music video for "Crashed Love" on his own YouTube channel. The description is a plain credit list. He and J Damon are credited as directors and editors, with Damon also behind the camera. Cedrano shares music and lyrics credit with Xavier Noyelle. The mix is credited to Joel Workman, and the recording to ICP Studios.

The credits describe a small, human-scale production: named collaborators, a named studio, a songwriting partner. As of this writing the video page shows 232 views, which puts it at the very start of its run.

The song and the audience so far

The track is at Spotify, where his Instagram bio points visitors and where the single is the only thing on offer. That profile shows 4,504 followers as of this writing, a modest base built before the video landed. Streaming services file the song as pop, though Apple's artist page lists the broader Pop/Rock category. That fits a writer working between electronic pop and guitar-band instincts, though the single alone is thin evidence for any firm genre claim.

Little else is public. There are no interviews, press write-ups, tour dates or label announcements that this magazine could find, and his city is not listed on his profile. Where he is based, and what else he has recorded, remain open questions.

What to watch

Cedrano has done the sequence in the right order: a finished single, a credited and mixed recording, then a video he helped direct and edit himself. What matters next is volume. A second release would show whether "Crashed Love" is a one-off or the first chapter of a catalog. A live date or a named collaborator beyond this circle would help too. For now, the video's 232 views and the single's low profile make this an artist worth bookmarking at the earliest stage, with the next song the real test.
