Shaping her emotions into powerful songs and performances that put her visceral voice at center stage, Stella Prince has forged her own genre. Her Gen Z folk has earned her sold-out shows across North America and Europe, history-making Nashville performances at AMERICANAFEST and Tin Pan South, a tireless in-studio radio tour of the U.S.,and a #1 on the Official Folk Charts. Her Dear Future Me EP was named one of the best of 2024 by No Depression. Stella caps her rocket ride of a year with her first residency, at Nashville’s only woman-owned music venue, AB Hillsboro Village. She strides into 2025 set to record her debut album.

Not yet 21, Stella is already used to claiming musical firsts. The Woodstock N.Y.-born artist was the first solo artist to headline France’s Bluegrass in La Roche Music Festival, as well as the youngest headliner at many of the venues on her sold-out U.K. tour. Stella launched Nashville’s only all-female folk showcase sponsored by Change the Conversation, and took it on the road to New York City, Boston, Maine, Connecticut, Berkeley, CA, and London. Her music has been heard on 200 American radio stations and her performances featured on CBS, NBC, and FOX, among others.

Winner of the 2023 Folk Alliance First Timers Scholarship and finalist for the 2024 John Cirillo Songwriting Award, Stella has co-written with pros such as Steve Dean (Dolly Parton, Reba, George Strait), Lynn Chater (Tanya Tucker, Jo Dee Messina), & Brent Baxter (Alan Jackson, Randy Travis). She currently resides in Nashville.
