Mt Vernon, WA, USA

Cele Cortez is a Melodic Rap artist from Washington who uses music as an amplifier of the man’s emotions in today’s world. As a child, Celestino was heavily encouraged by his mother to compose music from items around the house such as empty coffee cans and sticks while by middle school the boy was breakdancing, and by highschool - he was freestyling. Influenced by Hip Hop legends like Tupac and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and equally favoring names as Smokey Robinson, The Tempations group, and Whitney Houston, Celestino Cortez grants his audience a multi-genre performance with every release (Along The Line, 21st Infantry, The Last Fallen Angel). From 2012 to the present day, the artist estimates his integral repertoire to contain at least 230 songs. Memorable by the very distinct double-sided braids, Celestino Cortez has amassed an impressive fanbase both regionally in Washington and nationally: 6.5k fans on Facebook, 110k streams on Spotify, and 113k views on YouTube.
