జీవిత చరిత్ర
Celeste Lynn Kellogg is a singer-songwriter and actress who began performing at age 6 in her church choir. By age 12, she was performing with the Radio Disney Tween Pop Group "RD7." During her time with Radio Disney, Celeste opened for the Jonas Brothers, Raven, and performed hour-long sets at concerts for Kelly Clarkson’s "Addicted to Love Tour," the Cheetah Girls, and Miley Cyrus.
In the summer of 2008, Celeste was invited to Hollywood to attend "School of Pop," where she met music producer Andrew Lane. After hearing her sing, Andrew expressed to her parents, "I just heard your daughter sing and she blew me away," and invited her to work with him in Nashville. Andrew Lane’s impressive resume includes producing songs for High School Musical, Miley Cyrus, Backstreet Boys, and The Olympics, among others. Since then, Celeste has recorded four EPs in Nashville.
Her EP titled *You & Me* charted on the iTunes Country Chart. She debuted two songs from the EP, "Country Swagger" and "Someone To Call Me Baby," at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville during the Live 4 Tay Benefit. Sharing the stage with songwriters Wynn Varble, Dave Berg, and Pat Alger, she received praise, being told "Fantastic." Except for a guitar lick in "Country Swagger," Celeste wrote the entire EP and considers performing alongside such talented songwriters one of her career highlights.
In 2018, Celeste embraced new opportunities by releasing a music video for her single "Country Swagger," filmed aboard the Battleship Wisconsin in Norfolk, VA. She said about the video, "It's something I'm so proud of. It represents my values and exactly who I am." Growing up in a small Virginia town, it was important for her to honor the military. Following the video’s success on CMT, the single was released to country radio and charted on the Music Row Country Airplay Charts.
In November 2016, Celeste attended the Nashville Universe Awards at the renowned Wildhorse Saloon. She performed, presented alongside Storme Warren of Sirius XM The Highway, and won the Rising Star of the Year Award. In May 2018, she was named Nashville Universe’s Female Vocalist of the Year, receiving the honor in front of the Wildhorse audience and viewers of The Country Network.
Celeste later starred in the independent film *Much Ado About Middle School*, acting opposite Bill Cobbs, Lee Meriwether, and Blake Michael from the Disney Channel. The movie won four Dove Awards. While she has been recognized for her acting, Celeste’s true passion remains in music, where she has opened for artists such as Scotty McCreery, Raelynn, Eric Paslay, Easton Corbin, Brett Eldridge, LeAnn Rimes, Jeffrey Steele, Canaan Smith, and Cowboy Troy.
Her latest EP, *Keep It On Repeat*, is gaining significant traction. The lead single, "There's A Beach Somewhere," has reached the Top 40 on the Music Row Airplay Charts, with the video featured on CMT. The single has also been included on Spotify’s Golf & Western, New Music Nashville, and Fresh Finds Country playlists, as well as CMT’s Next Women in Country Music and The Round Up playlists.
