M. Celeste Consulting was founded in 2024 for the purpose of helping local musicians with the business side of the music industry. Mary Clark, founder, has always believed that there is a wealth of talent in Kentucky that often gets overlooked, and her passion for DIY and independent music led her to want to support the scene in a more substantial way.

Mary is an avid reader and a lifelong learner who has committed herself to regularly attending conferences and reading industry news to stay up-to-date in all areas of the music business. She formerly served as the Designated Chief Operator and Advisor for college radio station WRFL 88.1 FM in Lexington, KY for five years and has over 14 years of radio experience in total. Mary received undergraduate degrees in both Media Arts & Studies and Art Studio as well as a masters degree in Communication from the University of Kentucky.
