Stella Lefty is a name you might not know… yet. The 23-year-old singer-songwriter will only continue to rise up the charts as she further cements herself as a legitimate player in the country-indie-pop music space— even if her dad is a billionaire.
In fact, if you are on TikTok, you probably heard her song ‘Thinking ’bout You’ already.
Lefty is already booked as the opener for multiple high-profile country music tours this summer. It won’t be long before she is the headliner!
Stella Lefty went extremely viral with ‘Thinking ’bout You.’
The video that really set things off was posted in December and has since been viewed more than 10 million times. It featured the first listen to Lefty’s debut single, which became a trending audio overnight.
That was just the beginning. You would be hard pressed to scroll TikTok without hearing Lefty’s voice. Her sound does not fit inside a singular genre box but it has a little bit of something for everyone. She combines indie, pop and folk and with just a dash of country.
‘Kiss Me’ is one of the most popular songs in her catalogue.
Noah Kahan is credited as a writer on her latest release and you can tell. ‘Boston’ is a certified bop.
However, I tend to believe Stella Lefty sounds better with raw vocals rather than on a mixed track!
If you are still with me at this point, you are getting in on the rise of Stella Lefty on the ground floor. Maybe the second floor. She will join Cameron Whitcomb, Myles Smith and Tucker Wetmore on their tours this summer. She is already booked for festivals like Osheaga, CMA Fest and Bourbon & Beyond.
Who is her dad?
I’ve seen a lot of scuttlebutt about this topic over the last few weeks. Some people seem to think it’s a bad thing that Stella Lefty is the daughter of a wealthy businessman. I don’t agree. It might help to get a few opportunities early in your career but if you can sing, you can sing. Cream always rises to the top.
So, anyway, who is he?
Stella Lefkofsky is the daughter of Eric Lefkofsky. He is the co-founder of Groupon, Echo Global Logistics, InnerWorkings, and Mediaocean and the founder and CEO of Tempus AI.
The 56-year-old has an estimated net worth of ~$5/6 billion… with a B!
Stella and her father are close. She often sings about him.
It makes her emotional to sing to her old man.
Eric Lefkofsky often posts his daughter’s music on social media, even LinkedIn.
Never does he fail to give Stella Lefty a plug when he can!
He’s a…
I’m glad we’ve got that cleared up. Stella Lefty is the daughter of a billionaire.
That might turn some people off, but they need to get over themselves. She is one of the fastest-rising artists in the country-indie-pop scene and she is not going anywhere any time soon!
