About Celeste
American born, British-Jamaican singer-songwriter Celeste released her highly anticipated UK No.1 debut album Not Your Muse in January of 2021 (via Polydor Records), and since then her trajectory has seen no bounds. Leading on from a remarkable 2020 for breakthrough artist, Not Your Muse followed the songstress’ double win of BBC Sound of 2020 and the BRITs Rising Star Award. Raised on the classics such as Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald and Alice Coltrane, the self-taught Brighton-raised soul singer has previously been described as “undisputedly one to watch out for” by Wonderland Magazine, and is still making waves with her 2019 heart-shattering single “Strange”, which she performed at February’s BRIT awards—a performance which placed her firmly in the global spotlight, and has recently been featured in Netflix’s 2021 hit show Outer Banks which won her a legion of new fans blown away by its raw intimacy and encouraged a resurgence of the track across streaming platforms.
While the ensuing pandemic temporarily postponed all touring and festival plans, Celeste released a string of captivating singles—the sentiments of which resonated in these uncertain times—including “Hear My Voice,” which was co-written with Golden Globe–nominated composer Daniel Pemberton and is the focus track of the Netflix film The Trial of the Chicago 7. As the first artist to ever be commissioned to do so, Celeste wrote and recorded “A Little Love,” for the John Lewis and Waitrose Christmas adverts, and was widely praised as a ‘Christmas classic in the making’, this song marked another significant milestone in her unrivalled ascent.
