Lot has happened since Celeste's performance of her breakout song 'Strange' at the BRIT Awards placed her firmly in the global spotlight.

The British-Jamaican musician, who landed both the BRITs Rising Star Award and BBC Music's Sound of 2020, then hit #1 on the UK charts with her 2021 debut album Not Your Muse. As well as a Mercury Prize nomination there were Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for Hear My Voice, her lead single from The Trial of the Chicago 7.

Since then, the Californian-born singer took a step back from the glare of mainstage spotlights before return in November, with single This Is Who I Am and making her acting debut in Steve McQueen's acclaimed film Blitz.
