Amsterdam-born singer/songwriter Celine Cairo has spent the past decade crafting a sound that blends organic indie-folk with cinematic chamber pop, woven together by her unmistakable voice. Through openhearted songwriting, sophisticated music productions and electrifying live shows, the independent artist has been drawing in listeners from all walks of life, across ages, genders and continents.

Raised in Amsterdam, Cairo began writing songs as a teenager, discovering early on that music was her way of making sense of a complicated inner world. That instinct, to turn inward, to search for her own truth through songwriting, has remained at the center of her work. Across two studio albums and several EPs, she carved out her own corner of the musical landscape, drawing comparisons to London Grammar, Sade and Eva Cassidy, while steadily building a loyal international audience drawn to the warmth and emotional resonance of her voice.

Cairo’s creative path has been shaped by a small but powerful constellation of collaborators. Early in her career, she was mentored by Fin Greenall (Fink), who produced her debut Follow EP and helped her develop her songwriting. Later, her time in London working with Tim Bran (London Grammar, Birdy, Aurora) expanded her sonic world and deeply influenced the atmospheric direction of her second album Overflow. In recent years, she has formed a close creative partnership with German producer Benjamin Rheinländer, with whom she co-created the Truce EP and her forthcoming music.

Since the release of her last studio album Overflow in 2021, Cairo’s reach has expanded quietly but remarkably. With her blend of indie-folk and spacious pop resonating across streaming platforms, and a series of performance videos reaching tens of thousands on social media, she has grown a new wave of international followers organically.

Her songs have amassed well over 45 million streams and appeared in major U.S. series including Love, Victor, Queen Sugar and Walker, Texas Ranger, while her live reputation has grown through sold-out shows at Paradiso, TivoliVredenburg and the Royal Concertgebouw of Amsterdam, as well as opening for artists such as Birdy, HAEVN and Ásgeir.

In recent years, Cairo moved through a period of profound personal and creative transformation, a turning point that deepened her songwriting, clarified her voice and expanded her sense of possibility. In 2026, a new chapter of her musical journey is set to unfold.
