Celena started singing from an early age, and her talent was spotted by her music teacher at school, who told her she had an ear for music. When able to, she started singing in her first band in Birmingham, which led her into the world of session singing, where she worked with Alison Moyet, Neville Staples (fun boy three) and even recorded demos for Samantha Fox, and Gary Numan. Alongside session work she also worked with her own all girl trio who achieved top 40 success in the 90’s, working with producer’s, Mike Peden (Massive Attack, Emma Bunton & Will Young), George Duke & De-Influence. And more recently was support act for The Temptations, and Drifters in Spain.
After taking a break from the music industry for a few years she decided to use her talent again and entered the popular talent show, the X-Factor in 2005, and proved that she had still got it, by getting through 75,000 people to become one of the X-Factor boot camp finalists of that year. Unfortunately she did not win but it inspired her to put together her solo show.
Celena sings soul classics from the likes of Anita Baker, Jocelyn Brown, Rose Royce , Whitney Houston and Diana Ross to name but a few, but also performs songs from current artists such as Duffy, Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis, Pixie Lott, Alisha Keys, Beyoncé, Paloma Faith and Sam Smith!
Celena’s show, shows off her natural talent to sing and entertain any audience, and her song choices will fill the room with melodic memorable tunes with a real kick that have not lost their appeal over time. This is a show not to be missed. A must for any occasion!!!
For the last 5½ years Celena has graced the Costa Blanca with her soulful tunes, and has been seen at many restaurants and bars along the coast and has built a stable and consistent reputation there. Celena has once again returned to the UK to bring her style and class back to the UK!

Full address of Venue and if there are stairs to the performance area, and if there is parking located at the venue.
I can play music before, and inbetween my sets, whilst I would not call myself a DJ I can put a set list together.
Set up time 50 Mins approx

3 x 30 sets can be adjusted to suit event
Yes more than happy to preform outside, if in the summer, then some form of shading to be provided, flat level surface and outside power supply close to performance area.
I can learn specific songs for an event, but would need to discuss, so I have ample time to put the song together, client's can choose from my set list, but ultimately I would guide client to what works well at certain events.
Previous clients have described me as upbeat, fun, professional, party starter, amazing singer, interacts great with our guests/audience, relaxed a natural singer and likeable, great song choices.
