Lady Starbeast

Lady Starbeast- Defying traditional genre and embodying idiosyncrasy, Austin-based dark-pop artists Ilana and Marc Martell join forces to form the project Lady Starbeast. Ilana is the songwriter and vocalist; Marc creates the instrumentation; and together they record and produce.
Ilana combines sultry, powerful vocals with operatic background harmonies, dark, eerie and intricate melodies and a wild, irreverent spirit that evokes the likes of Amy Winehouse and Sia. Her lyrical content explores the introspective particularities of mental health, while using a broad lens to remark on the human condition. Marc’s dramatic instrumentation gives the listener a glimpse into the inner-workings of their minds and hearts, making for a raucous and haunting experience.
