Biography

Celine Cairo started out as a singer-songwriter and guitarist in a trio, with Mart Jeninga (HAEVN) on acoustic bass and Matthijs Lievaart on viola. The trio won several awards, leading to invitations to play at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Carnegie Hall (New York). She released her first, self-titled EP, in 2010. After meeting English musician Fink, she recorded her second EP, Follow, which he produced.

In the fall of 2015, Cairo travelled to New York and Los Angeles and started writing and co-writing songs for what was to become her debut album, Free Fall. She met producer and multi-instrumentalist Bill Lefler, who had previously worked with Laura Jansen, Ingrid Michaelson, Carey Brothers, and Dotan, and runs his own studio called Death Star Studio, in Koreatown, Los Angeles. recording for the album took place in early 2016, and it was released the same year.

In 2018, Cairo re-recorded all songs from Free Fall in an acoustic setting at studio Helmbreker, Haarlem, which resulted in The Hector Sessions album. In 2019, she issued the EP Siren Song and followed it in 2021 with the album Overflow.
