Celeste Krishna is an artist and producer who composes songs as a life practice. Krishna ingeniously pulls from different genres and idioms to best suit the emotional contours of each of her songs. This approach has led her to create a robust and varied catalogue of evocative music that is both poetic and danceable. Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, Krishna is now based in Brooklyn, New York. Throughout her early life and career she lived and played in multiple cities throughout the American South, accumulating stories and experiences that undergird her perspective as a nomadic singer-songwriter. Her work has garnered considerable success including 10 million streams on Spotify and Pandora and the sync placement of her song “Come On and Move Me” on NBC’s “Good Girls.” In her maiden albums, Krishna played under the band name Monarchs where she established her “disarmingly soulful” style, according to The Austin Chronicle, and earned her place as a “a true-blue southern soul in lyrics and voice.” Monarchs is the name Krishna still uses to describe her family of musical and artistic collaborators. Krishna’s most recent album, My Blue House, explores stories of family heritage that metaphorically take place within her maternal grandmother’s blue house in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. “A house is your view. Your singular experience,” says Celeste. “In this album I am representing the world as I relate to it.”
