"Celestine and her band where wonderful! The team work they displayed showed real effort of doing a good job. They where all very happy to help with more than their own responsibilities. Then to top it off, the talent was goose bump making! After booking Celestine, I heard nothing but constant excellent reviews from the listeners.I will be booking Celestine again!"

"Celestine has a terrific voice; warm, clear which is obviously tailor made for this kind of material." " Transparent, the title track, is much more the kind of track I look for; a killer song, a neat arrangement and a vocal to die for. My particular favourite." - Rebel Riffs- Steve Gilmore

Bio
CELESTINE was originally from a small town named Lunao near Gingoog City in the Southern Philippines . She grew up as the youngest of three sisters and four brothers . Her brothers all played instruments and her sisters all sang. Their father was an elder in a small church and the brothers and sisters all provided the music so Celestine grew up with a love of music along with her love for Jesus . Getting together with friends and singing contests were two of the favorite pastimes in their small community. Life was simple but Celestine dreamed of a life where singing and glorifying God would take priority.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the earth, a keyboard player by the name of Michael was ending a tour with his rock band when he was taken ill. Believing it was a result of the lifestyle of being on the road for years and constant partying, he didn't take it seriously. Then, given at the most six months to live, it was definitely a time for a change. Praying to God for help, he was led to a penpal named Celestine. They remained friends for two years , made stronger with their love of music , until her father invited Michael to come to the Philippines for a visit and to meet with their family.
It was then that Michael could see what God had planned for him. Though the music they enjoyed were two completely different styles, they began to appreciate each others tastes in music. Eventually collaborating on several compositions, they offer this musical journey to a place not often traveled...
