ROBERT A. CELESTIN, ESQ.
With over fifteen (15) years of experience in the entertainment industry as an attorney, manager and record label owner, Robert A. Celestin has represented and worked with a number of talented artists and top music executives within the recording industry. Mr. Celestin received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Philosophy in 1981 from Yale University and his Juris Doctorate from Columbia University School of Law in 1984. He first got his start in the music business as the Program and Music Director of WYBC-FM while a student at Yale.

While a law student, Mr. Celestin interned at Inner City Broadcasting’s WBLS-FM as a Programming Assistant working with the late great Frankie Crocker. After graduating from law school, Mr. Celestin commenced his legal career at the prestigious law firm of Kaye, Scholer, Fierman, Hays and Handler, LLP (“Kaye, Scholer”) concentrating primarily in Corporate Financing. Drawn to the more creative side of his personality, Mr. Celestin ventured into the music industry, which he considers his first love. He left Kaye Scholar and started his music law career at Arista Records, LLC. (“Arista”) in its legal department. Arista at the time, was the home of superstar “WHITNEY HOUSTON” and rap superstars “WHODINI”. During that time period, Mr. Celestin became friends with ANDRE HARRELL, a former Def Jam Records, Inc. executive and the founder of a fledgling record label named Uptown Records, Inc. (“Uptown”). After spending a year at Arista, Mr. Harrell invited Mr. Celestin to join Uptown as its Vice-President and General Manager.
