In today’s episode of the Get Styled Podcast, Elsa invites friend and musician, Stella Santana, to the show to talk about Stella’s journey in carving out her own path, outside of her famous family. We discuss everything from personal style and the creative process, to “going viral” and feeling whole in every season of life. So, settle in, and get ready for a conversation that will change how you approach your outer appearance to align with your mission and mindset.

Stella Santana’s sound exists beyond genre; for her, that means authenticity over artifice, quality over quantity and music akin to the songs she used to tape off the radio.

Granddaughter to legendary musicians Saunders King and Jose Santana, and daughter of acclaimed guitarist Carlos Santana, Stella hails from generations of musicality and continues the family legacy by establishing her own roots within the music scene.

She's not only a powerhouse woman but a new mother, which has heightened her passions for community, environmental and social issues while leaving her indelible mark on the music industry.
