With a voice that bridges generations, Stella Cole has cultivated nearly 2 million social media followers through her fresh interpretations of timeless songs by iconic artists including Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, and Nat “King” Cole. Often described as a Laufey-meets-Bublé sensation, Cole brings classic repertoire to life for a new generation. Raised in rural Illinois on Hollywood musicals such as "Singin’ in the Rain" and "The Wizard of Oz," Cole told ELLE that she “never expected this life,” earning praise for her soulful interpretations of the Great American Songbook from legends including James Taylor, David Foster, and Michael Bublé. She has appeared on "The TODAY Show," "Live with Kelly and Mark," and "Tamron Hall," and has performed on stages throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia. “It’s amazing to think that this music can be a balm for people’s stress and anxiety,” says Cole. “These songs helped people get through the Great Depression and World War II. Experiencing how this music can still help people today is the most gratifying thing of all.” Authentic and faithful to the traditions that shaped this repertoire, Cole brings a personal charisma that resonates across generations.
