Celeste

• From: Brighton, UK
• Related Artists: Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone

An artist like Celeste only comes around once in a lifetime. Born in the US and raised in the UK, Celeste’s soaring and confessional approach to soul calls to mind the likes of Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald. Celeste’s music does more than stop you dead in your tracks; it entrances you. It transports you to an entirely different moment in time. The winner of BBC's sound of 2020 poll, Celeste is the sound of ‘50s soul, 2020's R&B, and beyond.
