A vision brewing for years, Stella by Starlight was born on a chilly January evening in 2012. What was originally a solo project by guitarist and songwriter Hayden Scott grew into a collective of him, Nigel Rajaratnam and Shimol Sachdev. The trio, veterans of Bombay's indie scene, quickly gelled into a unit, and began playing at major festivals and venues across the country. Early in 2014, Anthappan Snehala and drummer Naama Choonawala joined in adding a new dimension to the band's sound. With shades of pop and folk, Stella by Starlight present a refreshing cocktail of bright melodies, honest songwriting and a healthy dose of good vibes, completely complimentary.
