Start
Doris Cellar was[2] the front woman in the band the Freelance Whales [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. This was followed by dozens of TV commercials and syncs, and the band toured[5] both internationally and nationally.
In 2011 Cellar created and wrote an animal rights video for Peta[6] and in 2012, Cellar wrote and sang lead for their sophomore single "Spitting image",[7] which was featured on MTV as well The Inbetweeners of episode 10 The Dance.[8] One reviewer said her vocals were "almost sweet enough to make us skip down the halls"[9] while another mentioned them as an example of why the band "may red-line the Cute-O-Meter".[10]
Solo
Cellar is a multi-instrumentalist. She can switch musically [11] between guitar, keyboards, bass, drums, percussion, harmonium, glockenspiel.[12] She produces all of her beats personally and performs without a backing band electronically.
