Andrea Celeste was born in Pontedera on the 31st of August 1986. When only 11 years old she started giving her first public performances and took up the study of classical singing and piano under the guidance of M. Vittorio Scali. Her talent did not pass unnoticed and she was invited, while still an adolescent, to share the stage with some of the most important national and international Gospel projects and singers such as the St. Jacob's Gospel Choir directed by M. Massimo Bracci, the Joyful Angels directed by M. Vijay Pierallini, and the American singer Cheryl Porter. In 2002 Andrea won a scholarship for the International Gospel Seminar in Castelbrando where she shared the stage with Mario Biondi and Cheryl Porter. It was Cheryl Porter herself who, in 2007, asked Andrea Celeste to join Vox Box, Cheryl's new project, which gave its debut performance alongside Gianni Morandi (one of Italy's most popular artists) during his concert in Bologna. A tireless professional, Andrea Celeste pursued her studies to improve her vocal technique and attended numerous workshops with Maestros such as: Terron Brooks, Ashley Davis, Huntley Brown, Michael e Regina Winans. At the same time Andrea was also very busy in the recording studios, lending her voice to various gospel, R&B, soul e jazz projects, and participating in mainstream events such as the Milano Gospel Festival for 3 years in succession (a dvd of the festival's greatest moments was distributed throughout Italy by the newspaper "Il Giornale").

In July 2007, Andrea started work on her first solo album. Produced by Roberto Vigo for the Philology label, "My Reflection" is the long-awaited debut of this young talented artist who wrote the music and the lyrics of the songs and then entrusted them to outstanding performers: Gianluca Tagliazucchi (piano), Dino Cerruti (double bass), Rodolfo Cervetto (drums). This album can boast the collaboration of some of the greatest names in Italian Jazz as guests: Roberto Izzo, Stefano Cabrera, Marco Moro, Filippo Gambetta, the incomparable Dado Moroni (co-author of the song "Real"), Riccardo Fioravanti, Enzo Zirilli, Pietro Leveratto and Andrea Pozza. The result is a delicious jazz, dressed in velvet and embellished by the voice of this splendid artist and her capacity to balance, with rare elegance, mellow tones and extraordinary power.
