"A CLASS ACT: HER VOICE POSSESSES SOUL, SWING & PIZZAZZ" - All About Jazz Magazine

Dubliner Stella Bass has been setting standards in vocal jazz here in Ireland for several years, where she regularly performs with her musicians at weddings and corporate events, and has also been invited to sing at events in far-flung destinations including Hong Kong, Oman and Australia. She was the resident Sunday jazz singer in Dublin's famed Cafe en Seine for 9 years, and is currently in the 9th year of her group's Sunday jazz residency in Searson's of Baggot Street.

She studied music from a young age, firstly piano accordion, followed later by singing and piano, both through the Royal Irish Academy of Music. After school, she received a degree in Computer Science from University College Dublin, and in 2017 completed a Master’s Degree in Music (Jazz Performance) in Dublin’s Conservatory of Music.

Stella's repertoire includes favourites from Sinatra and The Rat Pack, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Peggy Lee as well as all the jazz greats through to Norah Jones, Michael Buble and Amy Winehouse, as well as fun jazz covers of modern pop songs. Indeed Amy Winehouse's mother is a big fan of Stella's first album, having contacted her directly after hearing Stella perform a cover of one of Amy's songs!

So whether you're looking to create an intimate atmospheric background or a Gatsby-style evening, Stella is the go-to choice. When you book her, you have several options. She can work SOLO - using studio-produced backing tracks - or as a DUO (with piano or guitar), TRIO (add double bass), QUARTET (add drums), QUINTET (add saxophone). You can choose what you'd like, she'll be delighted to give you a bespoke quote tailored exactly to your event's requirements.
