Songwriter, rapper and singer Stella Mwangi who moved from Nairobi to Norway at age of five, realized early that music was her passion in life. Already at the age of eight she began to perform and make music. Hip hop has always been close to her heart, and she has been supporting artists such as Talib Kweli, Busta Rhymes, Flo-Rida, Rick Ross and Angelique Kidjo at their gigs in Norway. Stella… was born in Kenya and has got strong ties to her roots there. From 1998 she was active in an African youth group called "The Rise", and in 2005 they got to perform for Nelson Mandela during a campaign for the fight against AIDS. That same year she topped the charts in Senegal and Gambia, with the single "Do It" with the African group Wagëblë.
In 2010 Stella won the award for best female artist in Chaguo La Teeniez Awards in Eastern Africa – which is one of several prizes she has won and been nominated for.
Her music style today is a mix of hip hop, pop and dance.
