Celeste Epiphany Waite (born May 8, 1994 in Culver City, California), but best known by her stage name as solely Celeste is an Academy Award-nominated English singer-songwriter.
Born in Culver City, CA in 1994, she moved with her mother to England when she was three years old. Initially brought up in Dagenham in the outskirts of London, she settled in Brighton by the age of 5. Her father is Jamaican.
She started making music at age 16 and it was at that age that she “accidentally” wrote her first song with her former bandmates. It was that track that was found online by her first manager, who urged her to take professional writing classes while she completed her studies. At age 18, she started working in the studio and after she graduated, she began to take her music career seriously.
