About Me
Live at Temple Bar Sept. 16th, 2007++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++ My label just released this CD!! It so, so kicks ass - please buy this amazing CD. (Chicks dig it - buy it for your mom or sister) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "It would only seem fitting that the granddaughter of the man who invented the 8 Track Cassette Player would have music in her genes" Editor - Reno Gazzette Journal"Lear is an artist and producer with an edgy, intricate vision." - Music connection Magazine"On Celeste's gripping and tantalizing debut album The Echo Inside she complements her laid-back downtempo electronica with dynamic vocals that ring with harmonic clarity. The beats are exploratory and dont rely on the time tested normally dull breaks that so many artists turn towards and funkiness is hidden behind several soundscape layers that finds Celeste whispering of tales that are fantastical yet somehow not too far from reality. Beautiful and engaging from the get-go. - Editor, Smother Magazine ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sophisticated, moody and cutting edge. Celeste Lear, vocalist, guitarist and music programmer, produces downtempo and trip hop inspired electronica with wicked beats, luscious layering and meaningful lyrics for today's modern listener. Granddaughter of the 8-track inventor and deaf in one ear, Celeste is an artist with an intriguing background and an unquenchable thirst to create inspiring and groundbreaking new music.This up and coming electronic musician has recently emerged from Los Angeles' underground music scene with a sound all her own that truly depicts today's female artist in the music industry. An independent label owner, a music producer with a degree in sound engineering and a passionate and skilled musician to match, Celeste is an artist with a drive and talent to match any musician on a major label. Following a long line of musical groundbreakers from Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles, Celeste continues to break the confines of gender-labels in Rock and Electronic music by creatively fusing together the musical styles of downtempo and trip hop electronica with alternative rock, pop and jazz and her soulful and skillful electric and acoustic guitar playing and adds color and melody to loop based electronic compositions. Her music has been likened to artists like Bjork, Beck, Moby, Dido, POE, Zero 7, Lamb and Portishead.Celeste comes from a world famous creative and enterprising family that has left an incredible legacy in aviation and the music recording industry; "It would only seem fitting that the granddaughter of the inventor of the 8-Track cassette would have music in her genes." (Editor, Reno Gazette Journal). Left deaf in one ear from a car accident and dubbed "One Ear Lear" by her friends, Celeste went on to study music theory with jazz legend Ray Brown during college in Santa Cruz and earned a degree in sound engineering and music business from San Francisco State University. Catching the ears of producer David Hauser (Supreme Beings of Leisure, Iron Butterfly, Arabian Prince), Celeste worked on the majority of her 1st album "The Echo Inside" with him in Reno, Nevada. Shortly after returning to Los Angeles had received attention from Arista Records, had won 1st place in the dance category in an international songwriting contest and had a song placed on a popular compilation CD called "Femme Fatales" (Toucan Cove Records) featuring "The 12 Leading Ladies of Electronica" that includes music by DJ Collette, MIA and Jan Johnston. She has most recently collaborated with producer Carmen Rizzo. Celeste's independent label has released 2 Cds now available at iTunes, Cd baby and most digital retailers. She is currently touring as a solo electronic laptop based artist and working on her 2nd album in Venice Beach, Los Angeles. I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
