"It would only seem fitting that the granddaughter of the man who invented the 8 Track Cassette Player would have music in her genes" - Editor, Reno Gazzette Journal

"On Celeste's gripping and tantalizing debut album The Echo Inside she complements her laid-back downtempo electronica with dynamic vocals that ring with harmonic clarity. The beats are exploratory and dont rely on the time tested normally dull breaks that so many artists turn towards and funkiness is hidden behind several soundscape layers that finds Celeste whispering of tales that are fantastical yet somehow not too far from reality. Beautiful and engaging from the get-go." - Editor, Smother Magazine

BIOGRAPHY: Modern. Passionate. Emotional. This hot up and coming 28 year old electronic music producer, front woman and skilled guitarist is currently emerging from Los Angeles' underground music scene along with her talented 4 piece band. Following a long line of musical ground-breakers from Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles, Celeste Lear breaks the confines of gender labels in Rock and Electronic music by self-producing modern, emotionally-driven songs out of her home-based recording studio in Topanga. Creatively blending together the musical styles of down-tempo electronica, alternative rock and jazz and inspired by artists such as Bjork, Beck, Sarah McLachlan, POE, Lily Hadyn, Moby and Portishead, Celeste crafts unique, moody and modern, hard-hitting music. Personally illuminating lyrics, reflective of a female's perspective on life in these modern times, tell tales of love and fears, politics in an era of drastic change and the constant struggle to find one's self in confusing times. ...


Granddaughter of the late Lear Jet and 8 Track Cassette inventor, Bill Lear, Celeste comes from a world-famous creative family. Celeste is a unique musician in that she is actually deaf in one ear from a car accident that she endured at age 16. Dubbed One Ear Lear by her friends, Celeste went on to study music theory at Cabrillo Community College in Santa Cruz and got a degree in sound engineering and music business from San Francisco State University. Catching the ears of producer David Hauser (Supreme Beings of Leisure), Celeste recorded a batch of songs with him in Reno, Nevada in 2003 and shortly after returning to Topanga had received attention from Arista Records, had won 1st place in the dance category in an international songwriting contest and had the same song placed on a compilation CD called Femme Fatales (Toucan Cove Records) featuring The 12 Leading Ladies of Electronica which is available at Tower Records and on I-tunes now! Currently playing and touring with a talented 4 piece band, Celeste's full length album was released on Boutique Electronique Records February 1st 2006.
