After extensive studies in classical and jazz music theory, sound engineering and music business while attending Cabrillo Community College and then San Francisco State University, Celeste Lear purchased professional quality recording equipment for her personal recording studio and shortly thereafter re-located to Los Angeles to follow her dreams of becoming either a rock star or a big time electronic music producer (whichever came first – she was excited for either!). She interned at Black Star Records to learn the ropes of running a label and also apprenticed with various publicists, managers and with award winning sound engineers Greg Bartheld (Barry Manilow, Bette Midler) and David Hauser (Supreme Beings of Leisure, Iron Butterfly) and then in 2005 created the independent record label "Boutique Electronique Records" to release "cutting edge electronic music with heart and vision."
Celeste has since done scoring, music production, voice over recording as well as music supervision and casting work for various television shows, commercials, pilots and independent films for networks, websites and independent production companies such as: MGM, HBO, LTN, VH1, Playboy, The Film & Music Company, Eye Power Films, Mitsein productions and Revolution Films. She has had her music featured for a Ralph Lauren runway event in NYC as well as ran live sound and DJ’d for various fashion and corporate events at venues such as: Universal Studios, Fredericks of Hollywood, The Ritz Carleton, the Intercontinental and St. Regis hotels in San Francisco.
She continues to produce, remix and mix professional, cutting edge pop, rock and electronic music that has won various awards in international songwriting contests and had music placed on over 10 different compilation CDs including; "Digital Bliss", "Wish you heard it yesterday", "Femmes Fatales" alongside greats; DJ Collette, Jan Johnston and MIA. She is also gaining speed as a sought after mix and remix artist and has performed work for artists such as: Natasha Bedingfield, Auradrone, Artemis, Stereocell, Shannon Hurley, Rossana Schneider, etc…
