Support Local Talent Go Global, TikTok LIVE with Cece Caramel Launches Mini Album 'Caramelting'

JAKARTA - TikTok LIVE today officially launched the first mini album from Indonesian music creator, Cece Caramel (@cece_caramel), titled "Caramelting". Produced in South Korea with the full support of TikTok LIVE and TikTok's music promotion and distribution platform, SoundOn, this album is an important milestone in Cece's journey - marking her transformation from creator to professional musician. The launch of Caramelting also reflects Cece's dedication, hard work, and consistency in working through TikTok LIVE.

Michael Tan, Livestream Operations Manager, TikTok LIVE Indonesia explained, music is an important part of the growing TikTok LIVE ecosystem thanks to the contributions of creators like Cece.

"We appreciate Cece's hard work in presenting quality music content through authentic LIVE sessions and are proud to continue supporting her journey into the professional music industry through her debut mini album, Caramelting. We hope that this achievement can also inspire other local music talents to promote their works, build communities, and reach global audiences in real-time with TikTok LIVE," he said, Friday, April 10.

Responding to the launch of Caramelting, Cece Caramel said that she believed that every creator needed the right space to develop, and TikTok LIVE has been a 'home' for her to express herself and connect with fans for the past four years.

"In addition to providing various support for music creators like me, TikTok LIVE also opens up real opportunities that take me into the professional music industry. Therefore, I hope that this album can not only be enjoyed by music lovers, but also encourage other creators to dare to start, work consistently, and take advantage of the opportunities that exist to realize their dreams!" said Cece.

Carrying the name Caramelting, the first album from Cece Caramel has two meanings, namely "Caramel" from the name Cece Caramel, and "melting", which symbolizes the warm, soft, and sweet sensation like melted caramel - an image of the feeling he wants to present through his music to listeners. In this album, Cece will present three songs with different characters that increasingly show his musicality, namely:

● "Fling Thing" - The opening single on the Caramelting album presents an up-tempo rhythm with a warm and light feel that combines catchy melodies with rap elements. Written by samUIL - Grammy Award-nominated K-pop artist and music producer from Decade Plus Music - this song describes the initial moment of falling in love that grows sweet, a little confusing, but full of euphoria. This first single, which was released in February, has reached thousands of listeners in Asia, including South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

● "Say Less" - an emotional K-ballad ballad produced by INFX - showcases Cece's deeper and more intimate vocal side. With a soft arrangement and a melancholic atmosphere, this song depicts the phase when emotions no longer need many words, but are just felt, honest, and full of vulnerability. The second single released last March on a number of digital music streaming platforms has managed to enter a number of playlists such as Pop Rising Indonesia on Spotify and New Arrivals on YouTube Music.

● "Buzzin" - An energetic and upbeat fast-tempo pop song, produced by Highkey Music. With a dynamic beat and bright feel, the song presents a celebratory energy and euphoria, designed to liven up the stage and create a festive moment when performed live.

In his musical journey with TikTok LIVE, Cece also got the opportunity to collaborate with a number of world-class producers and musicians, one of which is samUIL - a renowned music producer who has collaborated with a number of world-class K-Pop artists such as SEVENTEEN and NCT DREAM. Armed with industry experience, samUIL helped Cece to work on Caramelting in Seoul, South Korea, through workshops, vocal training, and recording in a professional music studio.

In addition to opening up opportunities for Cece to work on her mini album with a well-known producer, TikTok LIVE also supports Caramelting's promotional activities through various important moments, both on the local and global stage. Her first single, "Fling Thing" which was released at the beginning of the year was first introduced at the TikTok LIVE Fest creator celebration in Las Vegas, USA. Meanwhile, the second single "Say Less" was featured in the TikTok LIVE music concert: Sparkle on Sound in Jakarta in early March.

Cece's journey is a tangible proof of how TikTok LIVE continues to empower talented creators to expand their reach and achieve their dreams through real opportunities. Previously, Cece had won various music competitions at the national and global levels, including Gimme The Mic 2024 and Music on Stage 2025, which led him to release two singles: "Sisi Lain" with Eka Gustiwana and "Fireworks Confession" with international producer Michael Lin. Cece also confirmed his position as the top music creator on TikTok LIVE by bringing home a number of awards at the TikTok LIVE Fest 2025 event in Phuket, Thailand, earlier this year.

Caramelting, which is distributed through SoundOn, is now available through Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and other digital music streaming platforms.
