The youngest of jazz legend Oscar Peterson’s seven children, Celine has spent more than a decade promoting music and representing jazz artists. She was in her early 20s when she began working in the industry. Her father, who died in 2007 at the age of 82, would have been 100 in 2025 and his estate is planning a number of events to honour him. But Celine says getting into the business, and honouring his formidable legacy, was not something that he ever expected of her.
