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 across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Her single “Pray 4 U” was picked up by MTV Spankin’ New, while Apple

Music championed the track across key editorial playlists—highlighting

her growing crossover appeal.
