Stella Standingbear

Stella Standingbear, the first Lakota artist to win two historic awards at the 2023 Indigenous Hip-Hop Awards, is rapidly making her mark in the music industry. An independent Recording Academy artist and two-time Native American Music Award (NAMMY) winner, she has built a devoted following of over 500,000 across social media.

Born in Salt Lake City, Stella’s blend of melodic alt-rap, R&B, and pop has captivated audiences across North America. She has been traveling non-stop throughout the U.S. and Canada, reaching tens of millions worldwide through sold-out shows and viral moments like her hit remix "SKODEN," which gained massive traction on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Her single “Pray U 4” was picked up by MTV Spankin’ New, while Apple Music championed the track across several key editorial playlists—showcasing her crossover appeal and growing industry recognition.

Stella recently made history On The Radar Radio performing alongside traditional dancers, a proud representation of her heritage in a modern music space. Featured in Teen Vogue, Hot97, and DAZED, her catalog spans multiple genres and includes hits like "Home Runs," which reached #1 on the NCI FM Indigenous Music Countdown (SiriusXM), cementing her status as a trailblazer in both Indigenous and mainstream music.
