Celeste

Brighton-raised Celeste has been named the Brit Award Rising Star of 2020 and the number one breakthrough act on the BBC Music Sound of 2020 List for her modern take on the timeless, heartache-tinged soul of smoky jazz bars and velvet-voiced storytellers like Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald.

The American born, British-Jamaican singer-songwriter spent her teenage years in bedroom jam sessions practising covers of everything from Sly And The Family Stone, The Clash and The Specials to Alice Coltrane, Janice Joplin, Thelonious Monk and Ray Charles, before the entirely self-taught artist found her own voice, writing her first original compositions such as breakthrough breathtaking singles ‘Strange’ and "Stop This Flame", which is the Sky Sports football coverage theme tune.
