Cellier was the founder and owner of the "Disques Cellier" recording label. From 1960, and for the next 25 years, he hosted a weekly radio show on "Radio Suisse Romande", which he called "From the Black Sea to the Baltic".
In the 1960s, Cellier extensively researched Romanian folk music, which led to his discovery of Zamfir. In 1984, he was presented with the "Grand prix audiovisuel de l'Europe" from the Académie du disque français in Paris. In 1989, he was presented with a Grammy Award for producing Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares, Vol. II which featured, among others, the Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir.[2]
In 2012, a documentary called Balkan Melodie was made about Cellier's travels in Eastern Europe.
