Celeste X is a unique and dynamic artist known for her bold performances and contributions to the L.A. underground scene. She has a diverse body of work that includes solo recordings, live performances, and collaborations in music, photography, and video with various avant-garde artists. Her music is heavily influenced by the 80s sound, particularly the use of synth lines reminiscent of Prince, whom she cites as a favorite. She started making music on her laptop at home, even recording early pieces in her closet with a simple headphone mic, embracing a lo-fi quality in her work. Her album “Trauma Ballads” was created as a coping mechanism during times of extreme distress, with pop and fun songs that carry deeper meanings and double entendres.
