PRESENTED BY RACHEL KIPNIS
Born in San Francisco, STELLA was raised in a family full of musicians. Both her grandfathers, Jose Santana and Saunders King, instilled music into STELLA from a young age. Along with the encouragement for her own musical pursuits from her father, who just so happens to be Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Carlos Santana, singing and songwriting became inevitable. Few years after graduating Pepperdine University, STELLA moved to New York, in Manhattan’s Lower East Side neighborhood, where she has been writing and recording independently.
Inspired by artists such as Lauryn Hill, Bob Marley, Miles Davis while keeping current artist like Travi$ Scott and Lykke LI in her iTunes library. STELLA’s own sound is strong, soulful, and heartfelt, with her own life - lived experiences being the main focus of what she writes.
STELLA’s debut video “Friends” premiered on the top music site pigeons and planes in early 2015, grabbing the attention of MistaJam at BBC1Xtra, who quickly made “Friends” an Inbox Fresh and Jam Hot Record of the Week – as wells as the attention of former MTV VJ and Radio personality Sway Calloway. MistaJam proclaimed STELLA’s voice was “like butta” and Sway called her “The Truth”.
STELLA’s debut project "Selfish" is slated for Spring 2016 release and includes songs “Friends’, “Switch”, “Fumes”and "New Toy".
