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 a hard-fought return to form, stella. is excited to share his second EP 'A Study in Balance.' Written and recorded during the height of the global pandemic across two coasts and three states, 'A Study in Balance' is an earnest and heartfelt study on and of the balance we strive to achieve within ourselves and our lives.  

With plans to release his first feature length LP in 2025, stella. hopes you stay tuned! 

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.
