Welcome Stella, the brand new pop artist who has just managed to reach number 1 with her first ever track; “hello boys”! How did it feel when you found out you hit NO1?

I couldn’t believe it, I was so shocked! I was at a pool party in LA at the time and we had the radio playing through the speaker to listen to the countdown. When I heard my song as number 1 it was just so overwhelming that I cried. It was one of the best nights of my life; I honestly couldn’t believe it at the time and even now it’s still just so surreal.

Sounds an incredible night! So how did you get in to the music business?

Well, I had always loved singing as a child and I had some lessons and stuff when I was younger. But it all really started when I created my YouTube channel. As many artists have started I posted a few covers and even some of my own songs on there. One day I got an email from this producer saying he’d heard some of my stuff and that I should call him. I thought it might have been all a hoax at the start from one of my friends as they knew all about my channel but I called him anyway. On the phone he said that he would like me to meet him in this big recording studio in London and that I should bring some of my writing to record! Later I googled the guy and found out he was a legit producer so I turned up to the studio and recorded this song (along with some others). And here I am a few months later with my song at number 1 and me doing an interview on FreQuency magazine! I have always loved and read FreQuency even up to and after the release of my single so to feature in it a few months later is absolutely amazing!

What a life- changing experience! Lots of people love writing their own songs. What’s your inspiration when writing?

I like to write about my own experiences and things that have happened to me. But mainly I love artists like Rhianna, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran so I find them quite inspiring. I do like to put my own twist on my songs too. I feel like I’m a mixture of loads of pop artists but I put my own “Stella” twist on things to create what I would call a new genre of pop!

Also, my Grandad was a big inspiration in my music as he had always dreamed of being a professional singer. You could say I am living our shared dream!

Very touching- how would you describe your style as a whole?

I thinks it’s quite unique! I love fashion and beauty as well as singing so my image is very important to me. I have done a fair bit of modelling now which I just find so much fun! I think lots of my fans (especially the younger ones) really look up to me as a person and even idolise my style. I always try to share my advice and latest styles with my fans which they really love.

Do you have any advice for the readers of FreQuency today?

Well at the moment I would suggest that berry colours are very in. Berry lips, berry nails just berry everything! And another thing that I have been really loving lately is wearing black heels with skinny jeans! I just think it looks so classy and heels really make any outfit look more impressive. It can be simple boots or full on stilettos just something with a bit of height to give an air of sophistication!

And finally, what message would you have for all your fans out there?

One of the things I always think of and reflect on is this simple quote from Coco Chanel which is; “The best things in life are free. The second best are very expensive”. I just think this is so true and really fits in with my image/ personer.
