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.

His passion is not something fickle. Tonne Desai, a talented singer, the songwriter has been determined to make it big in the music industry since he was a child. Music for him is like a spiritual awakening that activates the full potential of his mind and soul.

Tonne, has been writing songs since he was 14 years old. After writing for some time and releasing his EP “Prime”, he knew he had to become an artist and show the world what he brings to the table.

He lives in Nashville and studied music in school at Fisk University, it was in college that he was accepted into the now Grammy award-winning Fisk Jubilee Singers, where he toured and performed with the group for three years. 

The charismatic man’s mom is the real inspiration behind him to follow the art of music.

She pushed him to do music lessons, and that created a connection with music that was unwavering.

Music provides a euphoria to Tonne, a feeling that surpasses all emotions of happiness, and brings out his real personality. Through his songs, he aims to inspire people to be themselves.

Chris Poulson, an independent songwriter and artist, attracts all eyes to him with his unique music and voice. 

Some people are just destined to be in the show biz, running front and center, entertaining others, and drowning in the hustle-bustle of the crowd. Music is one medium that lets you open a doorway to connect with millions of billions through relatable words, and a mesmerizing voice. However, sometimes people lack the confidence to follow through with this dream as Chris Poulson did in the initial stages of his music career. 

He knew that confidence will be more suppressed with fear, so he took steps one at a time to conquer his fear. At the inception of his entry into the music world, he used drums and played live in many concerts and shows. Gradually, it has brought him enough confidence to be his own frontrunner, and inspire people with his music. From there, he spent a few years mastering the craft of singing and songwriting, and also became the lead singer of a rock band in Los Angeles. When the band parted ways, it was finally time for Chris to shine on his own, and show his hidden talent to the world.

From all the songs he had written over the years, he narrowed them down to his top 6 favorites and spent the next several months finding the right members to complete this vision.

Once the line-up was solid, he contacted a producer/engineer to record a 6-song EP, which would also be labeled his singer-songwriter debut. After playing countless shows in Los Angeles, some of which are opening and/or sharing the stage with national headlining groups/bands such as 10 Years and Veruca Salt. Right before the group’s disbandment is when the song “Fall into Pieces” actually came to life.

He ended up writing two more songs, “Break Free” and “Joyride,” to add to the mix, and he hit the recording studio shortly after to start his journey as a solo artist. Putting the sticks down was an important move for him — not only to show the world what he has to offer as a singer-songwriter and frontman, but to follow what he was put on this Earth to do!

In 2021, he released my debut solo EP ‘Fall into Pieces,’ featuring the heavy-hitting, emotional, and gripping title track. The single, “Fall into Pieces,” shows Poulson packing the “requisite snarl of the wounded,” he explains, which offers equal amounts of emotion-drenched instrumentals and deftly conceptual lyricism. His songs hit the audience hard with the truth, and the lyrics will immerse the listener into an emotional rollercoaster. 

Chris hopes to inspire people to follow their dreams and listen to their hearts. Everyone is brought into this world to fulfill a dream, leave behind a legacy, and nobody can shape it better than the person itself. With his musical talent, Chris will deliver this message far and wide. To listen to his music, visit his Instagram profile here.

Songs are more than just lyrics, it is a way to bring your emotions forward and grieve while also creating a safe place for others. The latest single “Josh” by MNERVA, a Nashville Alternative Artist, is dedicated to his friend, former bandmate and real supporter. Josh was the guitarist of his first band, “Remedy”.

The track is produced by Andrew Gomez (John Harvie, Loyals, Lost Stars) and the team dived into the atmospheric side of MNERVA’s sound.

The video will be released some weeks after the song. In this video, MNERVA is seen playing the drums along with the flashbacks of “Josh” and them in the band “Remedy”. Editing this video was painful for him, but it is a journey that he had to take to honour his friend. 

 The musical journey of this passionate artist began in February 2020 when he released the trailer for “Blurryface The Musical” which is a beautiful musical featuring the music of twenty one pilots, on social media to viral success. Since then, MNERVA has released over a dozen songs, culminating in the release of his debut EP, “Talk Too Much,” and has amassed almost 400,000 streams across all streaming platforms as MNERVA.

She has been in and out of therapy for years with the last two years being the most consistent. She has suffered from Complex PTSD and Psychological Abuse which has led her to write more transparent and challenging music as of late.
