Sophia Hammons, aka Celeste, has been showing off more of her vocal chops in recent years. In 2021, she appeared in the half-hour musical special "Disney Princess Remixed," during which she performed her own rendition of "Part of Your World" from "The Little Mermaid." In an interview with Disney Channel that year, she called the experience the most "courageous" thing she's done. "I had to gain the courage to sing on stage and dance with a bunch of these new dancers I've never met before. It was super fun and a great experience," she said at the time.
Just a week before she was announced to have joined the cast of "Up Here" in June 2022, Hammons may have teased her involvement in the musical by posting a picture of her in the recording studio on Instagram. "In new york for the summer…" she captioned the photo.
