Andrea Celeste was born in Pontedera on the 31st of August 1986.
When only 11 years old, she starts studying piano and classical singing with M. Vittorio Scali and debuts performing on stage.
Her talent doesn't pass unnoticed and she's immediately asked to participate to many concerts, festivals and events with some of the most important international Gospel projects such as, among others, St. Jacob’s Gospel Choir directed by M. Massimo Bracci, Joyful Angels directed by M. Vijay Pierallini, and the American singer Cheryl Porter.
In 2002 Andrea Celeste wins a scholarship for the International Gospel Seminar in Castelbrando and duets on stage with Mario Biondi and Cheryl Porter.
It will be Cheryl Porter herself who, in 2007, will ask Andrea Celeste to join Vox Box, Cheryl's new project, which gives its first performance with Gianni Morandi, one of the most popular Italian artists.
Tireless professional, Andrea Celeste pursues her studies to improve her vocal technique and attends numerous workshops with Maestros such as: Terron Brooks, Ashley Davis, Huntley Brown, Michael e Regina Winans.
During those years, Andrea Celeste is also very busy in recording studios, where she puts her voice out for many gospel, R&B, soul e jazz projects, and in participating to mainstream events as Milano Gospel Festival, for 3 years in succession, being included on a DVD tracing the Festival's highest moments.
On july 2007 Andrea Celeste starts realizing her first solo album.
Produced by Roberto Vigo and labeled Philology, "My Reflection" is the long awaited debut of this young talented artist who writes music and lyrics of the pieces composing the album, entrusted then to outstanding performers as: Gianluca Tagliazucchi (piano), Dino Cerruti (double bass), Rodolfo Cervetto (drums).
Some of the greatest names of Italian Jazz, universally known, come as guests to adorn with their talent this debut album: Roberto Izzo, Stefano Cabrera, Marco Moro, Filippo Gambetta and an incomparable Dado Moroni, who signs and performs, together with Andrea Celeste, one of the album's tunes.
The result is a velvet wrapped Jazz, embellished by the great voice of this artist who proves unique capacity in melting, with rare elegance, stroking tones and an unsuspected strength.

Andrea Celeste nasce a Pontedera il 31 Agosto 1986.
A soli 11 anni inizia ad esibirsi in pubblico ed intraprende gli studi di canto classico e pianoforte sotto la guida del M. Vittorio Scali.
Il suo talento la porta a collaborare, ancora adolescente, con numerosi personaggi del panorama Gospel nazionale ed internazionale tra cui il St. Jacob’s Gospel Choir diretto dal M. Massimo Bracci, i Joyful Angels diretti dal M. Vijay Pierallini, e la cantante statunitense Cheryl Porter, con i quali si esibisce in numerosi festival e concerti.
Nel 2002 vince una borsa di studio per il seminario internazionale Gospel in Castelbrando e condivide il palco con Mario Biondi e con Cheryl Porter.
La stessa Cheryl Porter che, nel 2007 chiede ad Andrea Celeste di entrare a far parte del gruppo Vox Box, il progetto di cui Cheryl è produttrice, che debutta al fianco di Gianni Morandi durante il suo concerto a Bologna.
Instancabile professionista, Andrea Celeste prosegue gli studi x perfezionare la sua tecnica vocale partecipando, inoltre, a numerosi corsi di approfondimento con maestri quali: Terron Brooks, Ashley Davis, Huntley Brown, Michael e Regina Winans.
Parallelamente la sua carriera la vede impegnata in studio di registrazione, dove presta la sua voce a diversi progetti di gospel, R&B, soul e jazz, e in iniziative di spicco partecipando, ad esempio, a tre edizioni del Milano Gospel Festival (da cui viene tratto un dvd distribuito in tutta Italia da “Il Giornale”).
A Luglio 2007 inizia la realizzazione del suo primo album.
Sotto l'egida di Philology e la produzione di Roberto Vigo, My Reflection è l'attesissimo esordio di questa giovane artista che compone le musiche ed i testi dei brani affidati poi a musicisti del calibro di Gianluca Tagliazucchi (piano), Dino Cerruti (contrabbasso), Rodolfo Cervetto (batteria).
Molti ed importanti i nomi degli ospiti di cui questo album può vantare la collaborazione: Roberto Izzo, Stefano Cabrera, Filippo Gambetta, Marco Moro ed un impareggiabile Dado Moroni, co-autore, insieme ad Andrea Celeste, di uno dei brani dell'album.
Il risultato è un Jazz vestito di velluto che si orna della voce di questa splendida cantautrice e della sua capacità nel dosare, con rara eleganza, toni suadenti e un'insospettata potenza.
