Stella T.

Stella is a singer and songwriter who lives in Canyon Lake, Texas. She has also been the lead singer of the band Cocobolo and a co-singer in The Electric Water Band and The Cosmic Porch Pickers. Stella grew up in a musical family and tried many instruments on for size including ukulele, flute, recorder, harmonica, dulcimer, piano, sitar, and Indian tablas until she finally received a hand-me-down guitar at age 15 and immediately began to study chord charts, fingerpicking and started writing her own songs. After moving to Austin, Texas at the age of 17, she was inspired by the area's enthusiasm for songwriting, and actively listened to local talent, including Townes Van Zandt, Nanci Griffith, and Shake Russell. Becoming a full-fledged singer-songwriter was her new passion, and a taste of Texas still flavors her music. Stella studied vocals and chorus in college and spent 15 years singing with college and community chorus groups to develop her vocal expression. Today she plays at local venues 3 days per week and continues to write songs, sing, and practice guitar. She loves to sing from the heart and directs her attention and focus to music to see what will unfold. She looks forward to sharing what she knows with you so you can begin or continue your musical journey.
