About Lennon Stella
A 19-year-old Ontario, Canada, native, Lennon Stella first gained national attention in 2012 when her and sister Maisy’s cover of Robyn’s “Call your Girlfriend” went viral (their YouTube channel has over 100 million views and nearly 800,000 subscribers.) That same year, Lennon landed her starring role in the hit television show “Nashville” as Maddie Conrad.
2018 was an exciting year for Lennon as she signed her first label deal with RECORDS LLC/Columbia Records. She released her debut solo EP, “Love, me,” in November, which debuted in the top 5 of Billboard’s Heatseekers album chart. Lennon has been featured in various yearend lists and was named one of Refinery29’s “Young Celebrities to Watch in 2019.”
