Celestial Grounds was formed in 2011. Formerly known as The Black Moth Project (formed 2008) the creator and musician behind both names, Sage, changed it due to the fact another band, Black Moth Project was already in existence. Two albums were released under the name The Black Moth Project followed by a "hits" album which contained the most downloaded tracks from both albums.

Sage, then formed Twelve Suns Records to permanently house Celestial Grounds. With a new name and a different approach to music writing and music genres, Celestial Grounds was born. 
Twelve Suns Records released a teaser track, "Galaxy", on June 13, 2011, almost one year later after the release of The Black Moth Project's last album. 
"Galaxy" was recorded in November of 2010 as a new track for The Black Moth Project's third album, however due to the name change, the album was scrapped and "Galaxy" became the only track recorded.

Production began on the debut album by Celestial Grounds, May of 2011, and would feature electronic pop sounds mixed with meaningful lyrics. However, production was stalled as Sage was releasing his second studio album that summer. However, production continued in late June 2011, and songs were being recorded almost everyday. In late August the album was completed and the first single "Sci-Fi", already released August 2, 2011, generated some positive feedback for the new sound and direction. The album saw 2 more single releases, "Canyon" and "Could This Be Love", which became its top downloaded single and peaked at number 16 on the Tunes On Fire Chart on Tunecrank. The album, Sci-Fi, was scheduled for a November release, however due to the success of "Could This Be Love", the album was released on October 18, 2011. The song "Could This Be Love" is featured in the promotional music video for United Hedonists. A separate music video was released which only features the singers face. Though the album was released with moderate success, the track "Stars Fall", quickly became a hit. It became the most downloaded track off the album Sci-Fi, despite never being released as a single.

In September of 2011, production began on the follow up album, Sweat Of The Sun. The first song recorded was "Stars Come To Life", which is also the lead single and features an electronic dance pop sound. The second album is described as, half dance and half cinematic. On November 8, 2011, the song, "Lotus Flower", was released early despite the album being half complete. The song was dedicated as a memorial to a tragic passing. The song was moderately successful. 

In February 2012, Celestial Grounds tweeted that the album was completed and was the most rewarding and difficult process Sage ever had in the studio. A teaser track, "F.O.O.L.", was released to Tunecrank on February 7, 2012 and quickly reached number 20 on the Tunes On Fire Chart. Staying on the chart for almost 3 weeks, the track quickly peaked at number 2, becoming the highest charting track by Celestial Grounds, beating the previous charting single, "Could This Be Love". The track, however, was not available for download.

The first single, "Stars Come To Life", is reported to be released in April 2012, by Twelve Suns Records. Plans to release the second album, Sweat Of The Sun, are yet unknown.
