| Celleste on The Jimmy Star Show Celleste will be a featured guest on The Jimmy Star Show live radio show hosted by King of Cool, Jimmy Star along with his Cool Crowd of cohosts to discuss her debut album, her music, her career, and the entertainment industries at large. The Jimmy Star Show is radio's new hit show, featuring the coolest in music, entertainment, fashion and pop culture, all from a fun industry insider perspective in a completely live, unedited fast-paced two-hour conversational format. Celleste is a Canadian singer/songwriter who is currently releasing her debut rock album entitled Ready To Fly. Inspired by the rock bands of the 60's and 70's, Celleste's music is a blend of rock, folk, blues, country and pop, that she likes to call "Modern Classic Rock". She explains the roots of the eclectic blend in her own words: "I'd often hear Led Zeppelin blasting in my brother's room while dad was strumming Chet Atkins tunes in the basement... then I got my hands on [Lenny Kravitz's] "Are You Gonna Go My Way", and [Sheryl Crow's] "Tuesday Night Music Club". Throw in some CCR, Black Crowes and Janis Joplin, perform it all like Steven Tyler and Madonna, and presto... you know all my secrets." A pivotal point in Celleste's career occurred when her future producer, Eric Dick, first saw her perform. That meeting led to her becoming the lead singer of Eric's band at the time, where the two forged a solid working relationship, becoming close friends and sharing the stage together. In 2006 they began working on material for what would later become the "Ready To Fly" album, writing Real Love, Best I Can, Beyond Words, and Falling. For the sound of the record, Celleste and Eric set out to create songs reminiscent of yesteryear, while still remaining relevant today. "Real Love was one of the first tunes we worked on", recalls Celleste. "As soon as I heard Eric's riff, the verses and chorus came to me instantly. The song really set the tone for the exact blend of pop and rock we wanted to achieve on this record. Lyrically, the theme is all about never settling for less... so Real Love was really the perfect way to begin this project." While it is first and foremost a collection of rock songs, one thing that certainly stands out about "Ready To Fly" is the diversity. "I'm not all about one thing, so why should my music be?", explains Celleste . "I want to take the listener on a journey like some of my favorite albums did for me. What I loved about bands like Zeppelin was finding 'Rock and Roll' on the same album as 'Going To California'. I think it's all about the balance, almost like I can't appreciate one without the other." In 2008, Celleste and Eric decided to join forces as business partners and started their own independent record label, Mighty Music (www.mighymusic.ca) . Doing the job of ten people, they took on the roles of graphic design, website building, photography, shooting and editing videos, all administrative functions, and of course, writing and recording "Ready To Fly". If that wasn't enough, during the same period the two signed a second artist to Mighty Music, also produced by Eric. "The last year and a half has been a crazy schedule, lots of decisions taken, lots of things learned and accomplished, I've never been so creative and productive in my whole life. It's a great feeling to be in control of my career, fulfilled in my life, doing exactly what I'm supposed to, and knowing I'm exactly where I should be."
