Celeste for me embodies that rare combination of a hard working, down to earth, easy going, fun to be with person who is also a glamorous, charismatic, and very sexy woman! She is super talented and super smart with a big, thumping lion-hearted heart. The first time we really hung out and jammed we stayed up and played by the fire until dawn. She's playing slide and mandolin and singing and I'm like "who is this beautiful woman who knows all these old Grateful Dead songs?" Little did I know, that was just the tip (not of an iceberg - think of something warmer). Her creativity expands beyond musicianship and composition - any isolated aspect or specific medium - to all facets of her life and relations. Plus, she drove all over hell and back and took me to every thrift store in Stockton so I could get a bike and a sleeping bag and some warm clothes for burningman and never once mentioned that normal freaks wouldn't set out for freaking burningman without those things. God I love her.

Celeste is a living legend in my book. After hearing her play you may find yourself wishing for more of her awesome style, poise and clarity. - Jeseppi Trade Wildfeather

about me
I am a femalien electronic music producer/guitarist and singer born and raised in a smallish mountain community just outside of Los Angeles called Topanga Canyon...it is very beautiful and green here and I feel truly blessed to have grown up in such a spiritual and artistic epicenter. I currently live in a cute little bungalow in Venice beach with my recording gear, my vast wardrobe and my 3 legged cat Suki. I have amazing friends and I am grateful to the end for these people and all that they teach me and teach me about myself. Together we frequent clubs, warehouses and cafes dressed like circus freaks, dance like jugle creatures, drink like pirates and we breathe life and passion into our art and our life's work. These people inspire me to no end and we are making our dreams come true everyday...
I have a very passionate, artistic, adventurous soul, a wild streak and a lust for experiencing life in all it's variety. I am very loyal to my friends and lovers, I have a huge bleeding heart and am a member of almost every non-profit organization you can think of. On occasion, I work to raise money for homeless shelters or volunteer at soup kitchens. I enjoy meeting new people from all walks of life and think there is so much to be learned from our daily interactions with each other. I am an animal lover and a huge outdors enthusiest - i feel so lovely and perfect up on top of some mountain somewhere. i love hiking, bouldering, pik-nik-ing... I love fashion, visual art and welding...
I sometimes get very internal and quiet and feel really complicated and ravaged by the big crazy, fucked up world...It's hard not to these days isn't it? I feel so affected by war and injustice, poverty and so many people's blatent disregard for all that is sacred in life. I try to do my best to enjoy my life and work on keeping my own spiritual balance through it all. Being an empathetic, sensitive person, I just naturally feel the weight of the world... I am learning to still my mind and let go of the pain of the past and not to get attached to any kind of "outcome" for the future. Just living in the moment.
I am also a hopeless romantic! Candles, velvet, eyeliner, roses! Let's go!!! I love men with a good sense of humour, colorful personalities and HUGE gooey hearts.
For years though, music is what my life revolves around, rehearsals, gigs, recording, touring and I have worked very hard througout my life to make a career for myself. I studied music theory, sound engineering and music business in college and hold a degree in sound engineering/music business from S.F.S.U. I currently own and operate my own recording studio and indie Record Label called "Boutique Electronique Records", which i have just released my debut album "THE ECHO INSIDE" on. I write all kinds of styles of music and am inspired by such artists as: Goddess Bjork, Fiona apple, Beck, Sarah Mc Lauglin, Peter Gabriel, Tori, Massive Attack, Cocteau Twins, Lamb, Depeche Mode, Tom waits, Bill Laswell, Beck, U2, Tricky, Martina Topley bird...
So, yeah, i am basically a music fanatic and a hopeless romatic who loves a good adventure!

Once upon a time, There was a little girl names Celeste who loved to sit in her recording studio programming sexy beats to sing over. She dreamed of the day her music would be on iTunes for the world to dream to. She was sad, because the big evil dragon that guarded the entrance to the iTunes castle walls, was big and mean and breathed smoke and wouldn't let small indie artists pass. But one day Celeste baked him a cake and he was so happy (because nobody had ever done that for him before) an...
