Celso Machado происходит из многодетной семьи музыкантов, и научился играть на гитаре в очень раннем возрасте. В 1997 году он записал свой первый альбом в престижной компании Марк Перейра. Эти композиции и аранжировки выполнены в очень личном стиле игры на гитаре, с большим количеством ударений, стиле, который откроет путь для целого поколения гитаристов инструментального рока. Использование ударений не ограничивается гитарой. Мачадо использует другие инструменты или просто свое тело. Некоторые из треков Селсу являются уникальным, совершенно нетипичными, а другие основаны на традиционных композиционных формах. Но самое главное — это всегда музыка приносящая удовольствие. Сейчас Селсу Мачадо живет в Ванкувере, где он создал свои последние диски и где выступает с концертами как в одиночку, так и с другими музыкантами.
