Buckingham's autograph

Celeste Buckingham (born May 3, 1995)[1][2][3] is a singer,[3][4][5] songwriter[4][5] and polyglot of Swiss-American origins.[2][5] raised in Slovakia. The former finalist of Česko Slovenská SuperStar (2011),[1][2] Buckingham gained early recognition on the second season of the Czech and Slovak reality television series SuperStar,[6][7] co-produced for audiences of the two nations.[8][9] After leaving the talent contest making it to tenth,[1][10] place, she promptly established herself as a self-supporting artist.[10][11] Her initial singles, "Blue Guitar"[12][13] and "Nobody Knows",[14][15] each found a top-ten response on the component airplay chart in her home country,[16]

Her full-length debut entitled Don't Look Back (2012).[17] produced the single, "Run Run Run", which climbed up the national charts in both fellow territories to number two,[18][19] overall being ranked as the most played song for any Slovak performer in the respective year,[20][21][22] or rather second in the Czech neighborhood.[20][21] The composition also earned a number of nominations, most notably at the 19th MTV Europe Music Awards,[6][20][23] making then Buckingham the only female nominee within her own category,[6][24][25] as well as four nominations in total at the local Slávik Awards.[26] Some of which acknowledged her general achievements in the music industry, such as the category New Artist of the Year, her winning at the ceremony.[2][4][27]

Celeste Buckingham was featured on Billboard [67] [68] Kissfm[69], , MTV[72], PopCrush[73], lastfm[74]. in 2014 She was nominated as the Best New Artist for the Radio Disney Music Award. 

At age 18, Celeste Buckingham served as the world's youngest judge of the X-Factor singing competition. In addition to her musical career, Celeste Buckingham played in a full length movie in Slovakia, titled, "Laska Na Vlasku" - English title: "Love In Your Soul" and a number of TV Series, including the World War II TV documentary series in which she played a young multilingual teacher who delivered information to freedom fighters.See Celeste Buckingham filmography.

Biography

“I am a songwriter first and foremost... I live the song, and every single piece is like a story or a movie. I develop a relationship to it, and I like to write about subjects that are important to me, my friends, and other young people out there. Music is a ladder for the soul. It should have content, meaning, and beauty.” Celeste Buckingham

1995–2006: Early life

Celeste Buckingham was born on May 3, 1995[1][2][3] in Zurich, Switzerland to the parents from different multicultural backgrounds.[6][28]; her father, Thomas is an American born in Chicago with British and Irish ancestors, and her mother is from Lucerne Switzerland with her ancestry from Russia and Iran[1][2][29][30] or else Persian[30] .

As the eldest child[30] of a male physician,[29][31][30] Buckingham would spend initial years of her early childhood in Anchorage,[30] Alaska, where her father worked as a cardiologist.[29][30].

Soon after though, in 1999,[31][32] the cosmopolitan Buckinghams relocated towards the European continent. As a result of a job offer accepted by her dad, they settled down in Slovakia.[29][31][30]

From age of three,[31] Buckingham was therefore raised altogether with her three years younger sister, Carmel,[33][29] in their foster country. Growing up in Borinka, a nearby village of the capital Bratislava,[29][30] she was encouraged to take classical ballet lessons as well as latin dance.[34][29] . She started her vocal lessons at age six and also began playing musical instruments, such as guitar[29] and piano.

2007–2010: The Lost Princess era

Singer à la Lady Liberty – instead a gold leaf-torch, she holds a studio microphone, and wears a five-tip golden crown.[35]

Curiously enough, Buckingham made her very public debut in the field of juvenile literature, side by side her sister. In 2007, then twelve years old, together with her younger sister Carmel she crafted a short story, The Lost Princess which was published on October 1, 2007 by Divis-Slovakia. "The story is about the kidnapping of the younger of 2 sisters and how the older sister is able to find her and bring her back to her family. The characters have many adventures and go thru [sic] many difficulties before their family is reunited. The characters must grow and become stronger thru [sic] these difficulties [...]."[36]

About the same time, Buckingham was writing acoustic songs on her own, some of which would later result in an amateur "album",[2] that she recorded with her sister titled under the band name "Anchorage",[n. 1] . Her single "Blue Guitar" was one of the songs that she wrote during that time.
