Stella Francis is a songwriter and artist based in London, combining elements of soul and jazz with smooth folk. Having had classical training on piano from the age of 5, her complex knowledge and passion for harmony is evident in her writing. This, combined with her love for groove, creates a concoction which is not bound by genre or timing, but is simply a reflection of Stella’s creative self. Her lyrics tend to comment on nature, love, self-awareness and womanhood; with a moody undertone.
