This past year has been a breakthrough for Stella. In the past six months, Stella scored her first #1 song with “Dear Future Me”, was invited to perform a showcase at Showing Roots, Ireland’s Folk Conference, finished a sold-out tour of the UK, where she was the youngest performer in history to headline multiple venues, sold out Nashville’s legendary Bluebird Cafe, was invited to perform in the prestigious Song Suffragettes showcase, was featured on WSM Radio’s “Coffee, Country, and Cody” with Kelly Sutton, FOX’s “Rock and Review”, CBS’s “Talk of the Town”, and NBC’s “Today in Nashville”.

Stella’s EP was named one of the “Best Albums of 2024” by No Depression. The lead single off the EP, “Two Faced”, which shot to #2 on the NACC Folk Charts, is the only standalone single to reach this milestone. Stella’s EP became the #2 Most Downloaded record across ALL GENRES, the only folk album, solo female performer, and one of the only independent releases to do so, charting at #1 on the Official Folk Charts, and in the Top 20 on the Alt Country Charts.
