Star grew up in Lorton Virginia, the youngest of a family of six daughters. She found her love of music early on, which ignited her passion for writing music based on old storytelling traditions. 

While she's known primarily as a folk singer, she isn’t afraid to “genre hop” song to song. Her music ranges from rock, folk, and blues, to country, musical theater and everything in between. 

Star’s music has been described as “female rage music” and her songwriting uses music to speak on the issues that matter to her, from the plight of being a woman in a man's world, to the issues of growing up in a society divided by class and greed. All while using elements of comedy and hope to share real or metaphorical stories to speak on the issues of today.
