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. The Word is Bond blog reviewed: “From the soulful melodic runs, inflections and sublime harmonies, Stella sure delivers the goods and we are here for it.” Since moving to London in 2021, Stella has played at a variety of venues including Ronnie Scotts, Pizza Express Live, Notting Hill Arts Club, and The Troubadour. She has no solo releases out as of yet, but is due to record her debut LP in autumn 24’. Stella Francis (& friends) for Palestine is an opportunity to bring people together for a gorgeous evening of music, while raising money for one of the biggest crises in history - the war on Gaza. The evening will also be accompanied by some amazing support acts: Solace - Solace is a 21 year old singer and songstress from Bristol, whose music is formed from the realms of soul, blues and R&B. Her soulful tone paired with her moving and emotive lyrics conveys an atmosphere that draws you in. Dolli - Neo soul singer-songwriter Dolli, grew up in south London with first generation Nigerian parents, whose cultural Yoruba background heavily influenced her love for deep, authentic music. She takes great inspiration from artists such as Fela Kuti, Lianne La Havas and Mo’kalamity, stating that they have ‘opened her mind up to the raw freedom of music’. All money from tickets, and any extra donations will go directly to the UN’s Occupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Fund.
