Σtella

Greek singer-songwriter Σtella weaves a world in her mix of Mediterranean folk-pop and psych-rock where you can feel the warm sea air. This is especially palpable on the idiosyncratic, vibrant debut 'The Break' and the more cinematic coastal scenes of the most recent 'Up And Away', where she continues to find ways to complement traditional Greek instruments like the bouzouki with modern influences. With the latter album, Σtella reached a milestone: she became the first Greek artist to sign with the legendary indie label Sub Pop.
