Green’s musical career began in the mid-nineties with the southern hip hop group Goodie Mob; they rose to prominence by appearing on two tracks on Outkast’s classic debut album ‘Southernplaylisticadillacmuzik’, and released three full-length records that met with critical acclaim within the hip hop community in their native U.S. Green left the group after the release of ‘World Party’ in 1999, and after decidedly mixed fortunes for the next few years in which he pursued a solo career, Green would achieve worldwide fame when he hooked up with super-producer Danger Mouse to form the duo Gnarls Barkley.
Their single ‘Crazy’, from their debut album ‘St. Elsewhere’, became a number one smash around the globe in 2006, and would eventually be named song of the decade by rolling Stone magazine. Both ‘St. Elsewhere’ and the follow-up, ‘The Odd Couple’, met with critical and commercial success, but Green would go on to prove that he was no one-hit wonder; in 2010, when his solo record ‘The Lady Killer’ became one of the albums of the year, the lead single ‘Fuck You!’ - renamed ‘Forget You’ for radio reasons - topped the charts worldwide and scooped a clutch of Grammy nominations for the singer.

Maybe it shouldn't be surprising coming from an artist whose biggest solo hit is called "F**K You!" But a CeeLo Green show is not one you leave with any of the worries you came in with. No, a CeeLo Green show is fun with a capital F and as capacious as the star of the show. Let’s face it; this is a man with 15 years’ worth of experience in the music industry, he knows exactly how to give an audience an unforgettable good time. This experience stretches from his days in Atlanta based Hip-Hop legends the Goodie Mob back in 1991, through to his first attempts at solo stardom and being a songwriter for hire around 2001 (giving the world songs like The Pussycat Dolls’ Don’t Cha in the process). Everything changed in 2004 when he allied with producer Danger Mouse, formed Gnarls Barkley, and for the first time in his career he truly took on the world with the release off Crazy, one of the 21st century’s finest pop songs. That ubiquity returned with 2010’s The Lady Killer and it’s astonishing lead single, the aforementioned “F**k You!” His live show is an inspired mash up of every point of his career, there’s the era defining psychedelic pop of Gnarls Barkley (and a lot of the time, the ridiculous/amazing costumes from the same era), the Goodie Mob’s southern hip-hop strut and, it goes without saying, the controversial yet ecstatic cuts off The Lady Killer. It’s all held together by Scarlet Fever, whose chemistry and musicianship is as tight as their spangly catsuits and Cee-Lo’s delectable pipes, all of which come together to make a show that could bring a smile to a statue and not to be missed by anyone with even a passing interest in pop music!

Self-confessed lady killer Thomas DeCarlo Callaway better known internationally by his stage name Cee Lo Green has been working on the live circuit and recording for longer than most realise. The Gnarls Barkley musician struggled to achieve a similar success with his solo career until the release of the 'Lady Killer' album in 2010 and the global smash 'Fuck You'. Unfortunately this seemed to be somewhat of a commercial peak as the follow-up dropped off major charts around the globe quickly.
His setlist now consists heavily of his popular material and former work with Gnarls Barkley including 'Run (I'm a Natural Disaster)' and the infamous 'Crazy' which is sang back in force. Cee Lo knows how to work a crowd and has a natural charisma and charm especially with the female majority of the audience. It would seem though that the audience only get onside with the performer during the popular tracks such as 'Bright Lights Bigger City' and international smash 'Fuck You'. Cee Lo has the stage presence to go far yet the filler material seems ever more noticeable when placed against the huge hitters.
