After meeting Stelle Amor, you begin to realize why she stands at a towering 6 feet tall – it takes all that to contain her enormous personality, infectious laugh, magnetic energy and that voice…. often described as “timeless”, blending various styles of soul, blues, alternative and pop, and has been compared to Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin and Lana Del Ray. Born in Kansas and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Stelle’s introduction to music came from her parents playing classic rock and country albums in their home. Although it was her dad’s love for the blues that really piqued her musical interests. Artists such as Etta James and Nina Simone cemented a passion for soulful music that continues with her today. Stelle’s inspiration to write songs developed at an early age. She began writing around the same time other kids were learning to ride a bike. “I literally have folders of songs that I have written as early as first grade,” recalls Stelle. At age 11, Stelle’s first instrument was the bassoon – not exactly a rock star’s instrument, but she later picked up the guitar and the piano to help develop her songwriting abilities. In addition to performing her songs at small venues in Louisville, Stelle would sneak into Stevie Ray’s Blues Bar (she was only 18) and sit in with the band, improvising lyrics and singing the blues. “Singing with those blues bands is when I realized my true calling as an artist and performer.” A chance encounter with family friends Johnny & Betty S
