Stella Prince may still be in her twenties, but this self-described “Gen Z folk singer” shows remarkable ambition and drive. Watching her career evolve has been incredibly rewarding. This is my second interview with Stella, who continues to inspire both songwriters and music lovers. During our conversation, she shared insights on her latest projects, reflected on recent performances, and discussed the musicians who continue to shape her journey.
Stella recently performed at Anzie Blue, a well-loved venue in Nashville. She recalled, “Anzie Blue is an amazing venue—it’s a beautiful space and has amazing acoustics. It’s also the only woman-owned music venue in Nashville, and that’s saying a lot. It’s crucial for women musicians to support each other, which is why Anzie Blue is so, so important. They really believe in paying it forward for female musicians.” She also added, “We just did an event at Anzie Blue with Marcie Allen, Leslie Fram, and She is the Music, which is an unbelievable organization uplifting female artists. They will be doing that monthly and it was amazing! Women like Marcie and Leslie are changing the music industry for women and are huge supporters of and game-changers for female artists.”
That performance was just one highlight in a year full of milestones for Stella. She also loved her recent experience performing at Live in the Vineyard, which included a special conversation with Linda Perry of Four Non Blondes. Prince reflected on what it meant to her to meet Perry: “The first time I heard ‘What’s Up?’ I was completely blown away by the originality and passion. So Linda Perry has been on my radar for quite a while—and as one of the few female producers, she’s also a hero of mine. My folk idols are people like Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins. But Four Non Blondes took folk and made it very current, very appropriate for the nineties. This is what I’m trying to do with my own generation.”
The Nashville Songwriters Association recently gave Stella the opportunity to speak to nearly 100 middle schoolers about music education. She stressed the importance of giving back: “Paying it forward is so crucial. I’ll jump at any chance to help in any way I can, and speaking to these middle schoolers—and being able to help inspire them—was thrilling. They’re young, but so dedicated and so focused it blew me away. You can say music education is important, but when you actually go and talk to these kids, you see how really important it is. I’m also so excited to be a new ambassador for Save The Music, which is an organization bringing music into schools.”
Stella is set to release her debut EP in Fall 2025. On creating her record, she said, “It was a real chance to spread my wings. I’m going to be splitting my time between Nashville and LA now, and it was so significant that I got to record the EP in California.”
