bio

Celeste Krishna is a Southern expressionist music artist, songwriter, and producer originally from Birmingham, Alabama, who is now based in Brooklyn, New York. With an ensemble of musicians she calls “Monarchs,” Celeste creates a range of poetic songs that have musical notes of Van Morrison, Ms. Lauryn Hill, and Björk.

Her work has garnered considerable success including 10 million streams on Spotify and Pandora and the sync placement of her song “Come On and Move Me” on NBC’s “Good Girls.” In her maiden albums—“The Oak EP,” “Those Words, Those Frames,” and “The Rise and Fall”—she and Monarchs blended rock and folk in a “disarmingly soulful” style, according to The Austin Chronicle, which established her as “a true-blue southern soul in lyrics and voice.” Expanding her sound and style, she went on to make a hip-pop mixtape, “Ft. Celeste Mixtape,” in which she wrote and arranged vocals over J. Dilla, Javelin and other producers’ beats. “The girl is dope,” writes Matt Sonzala of Austin Surreal. “[There’s] soul and realness to her music… this mixtape is more proof of that.” Then, as an exploration in synth arrangement and beat production, she released the “Prelude Red” album in 2017, which The Deli Magazine called “a foot-tapping, body pulsing breakthrough record.”

In her latest album, “My Blue House,” Celeste hones her Alabama poet-pop sound. The album revisits styles of her early work, touches genres new to her catalog including jazz and gospel, and, as Flagpole has described her previous work, is characteristically "intensely personal and universal at once.”

Celeste’s live show spans her body of work and features a majority female/gender non- binary-identifying band on a drum kit, synths, vocals, guitar and electronic drum pads. Celeste is a ferocious performer. As one fan put it: “Seeing her play felt like a discovery - like seeing Lana Del Rey before she blew up.”
