Chemikal Entertainment Group LLC (CEG)
🔹Booking • Talent Procurement • Event Production
Founded in 2001 by Vince “Whey Cooler” Andrews, Chemikal Entertainment Group LLC (CEG) began as a promotional vehicle for the groundbreaking live performances of Pretty Poison featuring Jade Starling. What started as a mission to showcase one group quickly evolved into a full-service booking and talent procurement agency serving the Delaware Valley and Philadelphia tri-state area.
In its early years, CEG capitalized on the flexibility of the Freestyle music community, where most artists operated non-exclusively—allowing CEG to book nearly every major name in the genre. From club classics to crossover chart-toppers, CEG curated shows featuring legends like Stevie B, Lisa Lisa, Exposé, C+C Music Factory, Rob Base, Tone Loc, and many more.
Recognizing the power of inclusion and community, CEG developed lasting partnerships within the LGBTQ+ scene, facilitating performances at Pride festivals and LGBTQ+ nightclubs throughout the region. This commitment expanded the reach of Freestyle and Dance music into dynamic new spaces.
🔹 Collaborative Successes
CEG worked closely with key industry partners, including a long-standing alliance with iHeartRadio’s MIX 106 and Matt Schultz, leading to a beloved concert series at the Coastline Restaurant & Nightclub from 2006–2013. The series ran until the unfortunate passing of venue owner Chris Mortos.
From 2017 through 2020, CEG launched several signature events:
Cupid’s Ball (a popular winter concert franchise),
Freestyle Extravaganza at Live! Hotel & Casino in Philadelphia’s stadium district,
Large-scale events at The Block inside Harrah’s Casino Chester.
🔹 Versatile Roster & Reach
Beyond Freestyle, CEG’s bookings expanded into pop, rock, hip hop, reality television, and sports personalities, including:
Artists like Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Cyndi Lauper, Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), Taylor Dayne, Tom Keifer (Cinderella), Winger, and John Corabi (Mötley Crüe)
Celebrity DJs: DJ Pauly D, Block & Crown, Havana Brown, Ghostbusterz, Frankie Cutlass, DJ Robbie Tronco
Reality stars: Teresa Giudice, Siggy Flicker, Dorlores Catania, Drita D’Avanzo, Mario Lopez
