Celia was born Diana Sue Heller in Canton, Illinois April 8,1952.\u00a0As a little girl,\u00a0she was inspired\u00a0by\u00a0her\u00a0Mother, Father and Uncle Dick . Music always played a big part in\u00a0her home, and while\u00a0her\u00a0Dad and Uncle Dick played guitar, Celia and her\u00a0Mother sang along. Celia’s\u00a0three sisters Bernita, Leona, Juanita and brother Leroy grew up together. When\u00a0she was younger,\u00a0Celia always wanted to be like Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells, Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette. At the young age\u00a0of six, her\u00a0folks took her\u00a0to the Grand Ole Opry, where she asked to sing on stage, and was told to come back when\u00a0she grew up. Celia\u00a0started out\u00a0in her twenties, but got side tracked raising\u00a0two boys and a daughter, Shawn, Paul and Buffy\u00a0whom Celia is all equally proud of.\u00a0Celia remembers\u00a0singing her babies to sleep with songs\u00a0of her\u00a0favorite\u00a0singers. When\u00a0Celia turned\u00a030 she\u00a0went to Anchorage Alaska, singing with a country music band\u00a0at the Buckaroo\u00a0Club. At 47\u00a0Celia\u00a0wrote\u00a0her first song….”Baby I Tried”, it sold\u00a0very well\u00a0at the time. Celia finally left Alaska and come home to Illinois and continued working with “Big Band Hall Of Fammer\u00a0Cliff Ayers” who helped her promote and produce her first song. In 2004 Celia recorded her first album titled “I’m Playing Second Fiddle” with the help of Bruce Goodman. Celia received “Vocalist Of The Year 2006” and “Country Pop Golden Vocalist 2007” both for the song “Baby I Tried” at the Entertainer Indie Association 26th Awards Show. Recently Celia started working with Keith Bradford, who produced her new CD\u00a0 “Heroes Never Die” , which also includes her\u00a0song ” Baby I Tried “, and\u00a0is\u00a0presently continuing to\u00a0work with KMA records Nashville,Tennessee.<\/p>\n
