Jeremy’s love of music began to develop at the early age of eight.  Being educated in the St. Louis Public School System, he was graced with an opportunity to cultivate his singing skills by singing in various citywide and statewide school choirs. 

His love for singing continued on as he sang with the YMCA Boys Choir and his church choir.  From there he grew regionally and started singing for local gospel groups, and local mass choirs.  His talent was recognized by some of the seminal gospel singers of today such as the Kirk Franklin, Clark sisters, Vickie Winans, and Donnie McClurkin; where he served as a background vocalist and lead. 

            Jeremy’s current aspiration is to do live music sessions as a recording vocalist and live as the legacy amongst some of his many musical inspirations such Brandy Norwood, Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway.  He sings for the pure pleasure of hoping that his talent puts a smile on each person’s day.

Celeste N. Preston is a native of the Mount Airy section of Philadelphia. She is a groundskeeper/
landscaper by day and performing poet by night. She was introduced to African American poetry while
competing in oratorical contests at Lotus Academy. At the age of 13, the death of someone very dear
to her provoked her to start writing and has been writing ever since. She started performing her work 2
years ago at Panoramic Poetry and has developed a passion for poetry and spoken word.

God blessed her with this gift and she found the purpose to minister to others through her own life
experiences and inspirations. Poetry has been and will always be her therapy. Celeste has performed
and featured at various venues including Panoramic Poetry, Jus Words, Soul Connection Philly, Art of
Conversation Philly/Baltimore, Prophetic Presentations: Word Feast events, Poet-ify and more. “Poetry
is an outward expression of my innermost emotions”, says Celeste. Her debut spoken word album, “My
Poetry Is Just Me” was released digitally and on cd on September 11, 2011. Her poetry has also taken
her to the stage in a somewhat different way as she held a small role in the stage-play “Whose Body Is
It?” written by Parenthesis Errica G in November of 2011. She is also currently a mentor working with
young ladies at the Mothers in Charge after school program. Stay tuned as she makes her way in this
world as God leads her every step of the way.
