Available in:
Celeste Epiphany Waite (born 5 May 1994) is an American–born British singer-songwriter from Saltdean. In late 2019, she won both a Brit Award and a BBC Music Award and was named the number-one predicted breakthrough act of 2020 in an annual BBC poll of music critics, Sound of 2020.
Celeste Epiphany Waite was born in Culver City, California, on 5 May 1994 to an Essex-born mother and a Jamaican father from the US. Following her parents' separation, she moved to Dagenham at the age of three, before moving to the village of Saltdean near Brighton at the age of five, where she spent most of her early years.
As a teenager, Celeste would write music and perform in bands. She "accidentally" wrote her first song, "Sirens" with her former bandmates at the age of 16. The song was inspired by the death of her father and was published to YouTube where it got the attention of her current manager.
Celeste's vocals and music are often compared to those of Amy Winehouse. Nick Reilly from NME described Celeste as a "once-in-a-generation talent" who is "the finest British soul singer to emerge in years.
