For those who know Fiona and Celeste, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more inseparable duo. After a chance meeting at a FRENSHIP show in LA years ago, they became fast friends, roommates, and eventually, business partners. Separately, under the performance names Fiona Grey and talker, they’ve experienced success as solo music acts, opening for artists like Charli XCX and Wheatus. After the events of 2020, they decided to join forces for two new projects: Cherryland, a boutique marketing agency, and Desperate Hauswives, a punk band inspired by the hit ABC drama. Marilyn had the opportunity to sit down with Fiona and Celeste at the historic Mint theater in downtown LA, where they discussed their music marketing philosophy, DIY expertise and candid advice for aspiring artists.
