SoundClick artist: Celestine USA - Christian rock with a touch of progressive, comtemporary christian music, gospel music

First and foremost, I give all the glory and honor to the Lord who made this whole thing possible. Since childhood, I've always dreamed to do something for the Lord through music. Then I met my husband Michael, who happens to be a musician and writes songs, I really believe it was guided by the Holy Spirit and I couldn't be happier to have it finally come true.

Why this name?

Celestina is my real name so I decided to change the last letter to "E" to make it more catchy...

Do you play live?

Yes. I play live... Usually in churches. Special moment? It has to be when my song touches people and inspires them in a very special way.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

I think, It helps a lot of people and that includes me...

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Absolutely! I let the Lord plan that for me...and that would be very special.

Band History:

This is really my first band.

Your influences?

We're more into classical, folk, progressive rock. It's a little taste of everything, I think.

The Carpenters, Jaci Velasquez, kathy Troccoli, Twila Paris.

Favorite spot?

Leyte in the Philippines. Thats where my family originally from before we moved to Mindanao.

Equipment used:

We use a Yamaha Motif XS8 and S90, Roland and Moog synths, and Hammond organ. I use the Neumann U87 and B.L.U.E. baby bottle mics in the studio .

Anything else...?

When I was little, I had always loved listening to The Carpenters and Anne Murray music. I love ballads and melodic tunes, but when I met Mike, I became a fan of progressive and classical music, so I think our music blends together in a very interesting way...
