Lou Celestino, an emerging Filipino-Canadian recording artist, shares how his struggles led him to pursue his real calling.
The Pandemic turned the lives of many people upside down, more so, in relation to jobs and financial status. With the wave of COVID-19, there has also been an inevitable wave of layoffs from prominent companies all over the world. This layoff has brought a revelation for many people including Celestino. He is a talented artist from Montreal, Canada, and is ready to show the world what he’s been working on this year.
Before becoming a professional artist, he was a flight attendant and was laid off during the first wave of the pandemic. He was not aware of how his life will take the right direction for becoming a professional artist once he was let go of his previous employment. For him, it came as a sign to go for the dream that he always neglected. Before the pandemic, he never really dedicated himself to music. However, he decided to write music and follow his passion with real determination and inspire people with his art. Music is a place for him to express his feelings and vent out the expressions that have long been suppressed.
A Legendary Music Artist In The Making
Celestino has long been an ardent fan of music. His loved ones were not very supportive of his musical passion which led him to neglect his passion. However, he stands to turn the Asian conservative narrative about the arts into a more liberal one.
His musical talent is vast, and his debut single is coming out on May 20. He also has shows coming up this summer in Montreal and Toronto. He is going to deliver a great musical experience by singing his debut single “One More Chance”, along with other songs that will be on his first EP this November.
His music is all about being himself. No matter what heights of success he achieves with his musical career, he will always go back to his roots and appreciate all that life has bestowed him with.
The charismatic soul also wants to show men that it is okay to be vulnerable, break the cycle and show what they feel without any hesitation. His message with each song is going to be something that uplifts many people and helps them get over the dilemmas of life.
He is grateful for all the success and failures that he has experienced in life. Because the wins show that anything is possible with enough zing to learn, and the failures just mean that one needs to keep trying.
Celestino likes to live in the moment. He wants to make today better, so that tomorrow can be more mysterious and full of wholesome events that lead people in the right direction in life. Hence, music is something that Celestino will utilize to bring the most important matters to light. To know more about his work, visit his Instagram profile here.
