Celetia Martin

Краткая биография

Eden Rox (aka Celetia Martin) has been surrounded by music all of her life. Born into a musical family in South London, United Kingdom, she sang backing vocals for her mother Mary Martin (Loose Ends) at age 8, signed her first deal with UK based label Motown/Diesel Records at age 14, and then wrote and released her debut album “Celetia” at age 16. As a recording artist, Eden Rox (aka Celetia) has had a number of hit records including the chart-topping “Runaway Skies/Rewind” in 1998. She was also the featured vocalist on the hit single “My Friend” by the international dance band Groove Armada in 2001 and performed with the band on their worldwide tour. Soon after, she formed the girl group, ‘Monroe’ who were signed to Sony Records UK. Eden wrote the entire album, vocally producing & directing three other girls for both recording and stage performances. Eden Rox’s uncanny writing talent was something that executives and fans took notice of from the very beginning.

After obtaining a worldwide publishing deal with Big Life Music in 1998, she established herself as one of the leading writers from the UK, gaining cuts with various pop and hip-hop artists worldwide including: Ashley Tisdale “Goin' Crazy” (Warner Bros. USA), The Slumber Party Girls “Bubblegum” (Interscope USA), The Preluders “Hotter Than You Know” (Universal Music), No Angels “Say Goodbye” (Universal Music), Paulini “Call Me” (Sony/BMG), Planet Asia “Comin’ Home” (Gold Chain Music), and Fatman Scoop “Sex You Up” (USA). Now based in Los Angeles, Eden has been collaborating on various projects worldwide with top producers such as: The Underdogs (Brandy, Omarion, Faith Evans, Beyonce) Avant & Bloodshy (Britney Spears, Jordin Sparks, Madonna), Soulshock & Karlin (Whitney Houston, TLC, Toni Braxton), Anders Bagge (Janet Jackson, J Lo, Celine Dion), Andreas Carlsson (Backstreet Boys, N’ Sync), Marco & Fedro (Christina Milian), Cutfather & Jay Jay (Kylie Minogue, Jamelia).

Although she has spent the last few years penning hits for artists around the globe, the superstar artist inside of Eden Rox has never disappeared. She recently formed her own production company, and has been working hard on her new album “Let Me Return The Favour.” Eden explains, “The music I write as an artist appeals to girls and women of all ages. The stuff most women go through in their teens and twenties will still be happening in their thirties and beyond,” explains Eden. “Guys, headache, stress, and FUN!” The music is quite different than what people may expect from her. It is a high-powered fusion of Hip-Hop, Rock, and R&B that only a master songwriter such as Eden Rox can achieve. “I know my music will reach a wide audience. There have been a lot of artists lately that have been experimenting with a little bit of rock guitar. But they have only hinted at the mixture. I will be giving the fans an entire album of great material that breaks the mold.“ It is true that a few have cracked the door open. But get ready for Eden Rox to break it all the way down.
