In an interview with The Post dated December 2021, opening up on how he got involved in music and theater, Cieri said, “Well, theater not so much — that was more of an accidental thing. Music was always a thing. I started playing music when I was 13."
Speaking about getting his first audition, Cieri added, “I got an audition through a friend for a show called Rock of Ages. I did theater in high school on and off but never thought that I was going to go do that as a job. I went to the audition and got it. Then I was on a cruise ship doing Rock of Ages for seven months. Straight from that, to go on a tour for a show called Once."
Revealing the origins of his widely popular rock and music band 'Nicotine Dolls,' which he co-founded, Cieri shared, “John Hays is my best friend and we met doing a Broadway tour. We were touring around with a show called Once. During the tour, I knew coming out I was not going to do theater or acting anymore. I told him, When we get out of here we’re going to start a band.”
