About Me

"Her songs are like the dandelions that bloom over the family plot of Leonard Cohen and Aimee Mann, rooted in the soil of Memphis and beyond." -unknown "...Catchy with hook-filled, yet dark melodies and vocals." -NPR, all songs consideredMost of Starina's life has been surrounded by music, she wrote her first song at the tender age of 9, while completing an assignment for her girl scout camp group. It was performed on a faux-wooden plastic recorder. She considers herself more of an artist than a girl scout. Hating her life and the town she lived in, she escaped to Art School where she learned the art of exposing one's soul on stage and Camel cigarettes. Though, having long given up the Camel, she still enjoys exposing herself on stage. She is currently working on a full length album. Available now at superstarina.com is the EP "Back Home" with her one time band the vel johnsons which was featured on NPR's national podcast program "All Songs Considered" as well as her self titled debut.
