So’le Celestial

So’le Celestial (they/them) is a Trans Non-Binary, Queer, and Gela’ CHamoru multimedia artist, singer, songwriter, performer, and producer. Born and raised on Guahån in the Mariana Islands, So’le moved to the Puget Sound Salish area in 2013 with their family. Their work honors the existence and sacredness of Indigenous CHamoru and Trans Non-Binary, Queer, and Gela’ identity. Through music, they create a compassionate space to explore all the dimensions of being, while honoring their ancestors and themself. Using art and music as a means of storytelling, So’le creates spaces where sexuality, identity, and love can be nurtured. Their creations affirm that our existence is sacred and worthy of love and power.
