It's always exciting to attend a debut performance of new and previously unknown artists. I was present at the very first concert by Savage Rose in 1968, Monique's debut in 1992 and several other debuts. Some times you'll never hear from the artist again, other times they'll become big shots. In a few occations you can tell already from the very first performance that you face a coming star. My first impression of Celena Ree's debut at Lades was that here we have a talent which can't be ignored!

I became aware at the talent of 16 year old Celina Ree by visiting her profile at myspace.com (see here). I wrote her, offering her to come and make a live-on-stage photo series when she made her debut concert. She accepted and below you can see the result.

Celena Ree possesses a rare stage personality considering her young age. She sings with a clear vocal, very much like Freya, when she's at her most rocky style, and Celina's music is more like punk-rock than pop-rock.

Celina has a very pretty face with a strong expression, so I couldn't help making a lot of close-up pics. Below you can see why.
After her performance I made a brief, improvised portrait series of her, - on some of the pictures I played a little with PhotoShop (see at the bottom of this page).

Look out for this new talent at the Danish rock scene! You can visit her website here.
