More About Celeste Swift
Celeste’s music career began in 2009, performing heartfelt cover versions at weddings, bars and intimate live‑music venues across South Africa. Those early years taught her how to forge authentic connections with audiences and channel vulnerability into performance. After a period away from the spotlight, Celeste re‑emerged in 2023 as lead vocalist of the alternative pop‑rock outfit Headline, a collaboration that reignited her passion for songwriting. In 2024, she founded Swift & Co., embracing full creative control over her music and embarking on her solo journey.
Today, Celeste Swift’s original work is characterised by songs drawn from both joyful and painful personal experiences, balancing grief and hope, sadness and strength in equal measure. She brings a uniquely intimate touch to every live performance, from seasonal festivals to bespoke private events.
Encouraging Open Conversations Around Mental Health: This song addresses grief and suicide with care and compassion. If you or anyone you know is struggling, please reach out to a mental‑health professional or supportive helpline in your region. Mental‑health awareness is at the heart of Celeste’s mission. By speaking candidly about her own experiences with grief and the creative process that helped her heal, she hopes to break down stigma and encourage compassionate dialogue. “If my song leads even one person to reach out, share their story or seek help, it will have served its purpose,” Celeste says.
