Holly Stell

Dubbed “Petite Pavarotti”, Holly Stell is a 15 year old beauty with an exceptional gift for singing opera. Barley a teenager, this vocal prodigy has garnered worldwide acclaim for her angelic stage presence and heartfelt emotional delivery. Holly’s interest in classical music was evident even as a toddler, when she preferred listening to and imitating artists such as The Three Tenors over watching cartoons. After joining her church choir at age four, Holly stunned audiences with her rare and tremendous talent. Her passion for opera motivated her parents to seek out a voice coach to help cultivate her voice. Little did she know that her love of opera would lead her to an opportunity to perform and record a duet with one of the world’s most recognized classical music artists, Andrea Bocelli.



It was in 2004 when Holly was discovered in Toronto by producer Jack Lenz at Hilary Duff’s “High Tea Birthday Benefit” for Kids with Cause, a charity to which Holly is a member. The songstress was thrilled to release her self-titled debut album in December 2005 featuring her duet with Bocelli as well as the song “Annabelle Lee”, the first of Holly’s song writing credits. The album garnered praise from critics and fans alike, and Holly has since been featured on many high-profile media outlets including CNN Showbiz Tonight, NBC’s Today Show and The Oprah Winfrey Show.



Inspired by music greats such as Luciano Pavarotti, Paul McCartney and Mariah Carey, Holly continues to grow as an artist, and her goal is to help bring classical music into the spotlight for a younger generation. Her latest album, “Holly’s Christmas” is set to be released in November 2007.
