Django REST with Celery daemon, no module named 'proj' - python-3.x

Question

I'm attempting to set up a celery daemon to run on server boot with a Django REST server (should note as well that I'm doing this all within a Vagrant VM). I've followed several tutorials online (including those provided by Celery) and still cannot get this to work.
Config:
CELERYD_NODES="celery_worker"
CELERY_BIN="/usr/local/bin/celery"
CELERY_APP="proj"
CELERYD_CHDIR="/vagrant/proj/"
CELERYD_LOG_FILE="/var/log/celery/%N.log"
CELERYD_PID_FILE="/var/run/celery/%N.pid"
CELERYD_USER="celery"
CELERYD_GROUP="celery"
CELERY_CREATE_DIRS=1
proj/proj/celery.py:
from __future__ import absolute_import
import os
from celery import Celery
from django.conf import settings
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'proj.settings')
app = Celery('proj')
app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings')
app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS)
#app.task(bind=True)
def debug_task(self):
print('Request: {0!r}'.format(self.request))
proj/proj/__init__.py:
from __future__ import absolute_import
from proj.celery import app as celery_app
In my boot log, I get this error:

I cannot seem to get past this error despite having everything exactly the same as the Celery docs seem to want it. Any help out there?
