About

—

stella. is a New York City born, raised, and based singer/songwriter. Drawing influence from songwriters such as: Leonard Cohen, Brandi Carlile, Paolo Nutini, Adrianne Lenker, and Noah Kahan, stella. writes music that explores themes of/wrestles with questions about life, love, heartbreak, and repair.

After releasing his first EP ‘Amalfi’ in 2018 and follow-up single ‘Still Choose You’ in 2019, stella. unexpectedly found himself in the midst of life events which forced him to turn inward and focus on rebuilding his connection to music, life, and ultimately himself.

Now, after five years and an exile that was equal parts involuntary and self imposed, stella. is excited to begin sharing his music again, starting with a series of singles ultimately culminating in the release of his forthcoming second EP 'A Study In Balance’ in June of 2024 and his first feature length LP to follow soon after.

stella. also writes, records, and performs a blend of far more cheeky and upbeat funk and pop music under the name Francis Aud and writes, produces, and performs ridiculously catchy & fun children's music as part of the musical duo Matt & Dan.
