About Celine
Celine has lived deep in musical creativity for years, her career kicked off in the UK in the 90’s where she fronted Celine Filbee and the Fatboy Blues Band, with guitarist brother Dylan. She was also part of acoustic folk act Something Going On led by songwriter Michael O'Dempsey.
Back in NZ she has continually strived for musical interest and excellence, devoting much time to improving both her instrumental and vocal abilities.
Searching out great people to create with, she teamed up with Karen Clark to form Glorybox, delivering strong songs and evocative harmonies. She then formed the duo Nana & Petal with Paul Adams pinning down the groove with his masterful piano chops. She now fronts the Peanut Butter Blues band who recently played their first gig at the Taranaki Big Banger Blues Festival. In 2025 Celine played regularly in a duo with Whanganui’s Davey Griffiths also on guitar vocals and bass, the pair crafted a diverse set around shared love of the blues, a funky groove and beautiful ballads. She now gigs occasionally with writing partner Michael O’Dempsey.
Over the years Celine has made many solo appearances, but much prefers the interplay and harmonies available with duos and bands. She has now honed an act fitting her persona and eclectic musical bent.
