Doris Cellar[1] (born October 10, 1984) is an American singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist.

Career

Doris Cellar was the front woman in the band the Freelance Whales[2][3] who gained popularity in 2010 when Twitter[4] selected Freelance Whales' music as the background for a video introducing a major rework of the service's user experience.[5] This was followed by dozens of TV commercials and syncs, and the band toured[6] both internationally and nationally.

In 2011 Cellar created and wrote an animal rights video for Peta[7] and in 2012, Cellar wrote and sang lead for their sophomore single "Spitting image",[8] which was featured on MTV as well The Inbetweeners of episode 10 The Dance.[9] One reviewer said her vocals were "almost sweet enough to make us skip down the halls"[10] while another mentioned them as an example of why the band "may red-line the Cute-O-Meter".[11]

Solo

Cellar is a multi-instrumentalist. She can switch musically between guitar, keyboards, bass, drums, percussion, harmonium, glockenspiel.[12] She produces all of her own beats and performs without a backing band.

Cellar as a live performer has been described as "a wizard with all the instruments she manages to play all while smiling and dancing".[13]
