Stella Soleil

From the underground industrial scene to the bright lights of pop stardom — and all the unexpected turns in between — Stella Soleil’s story is one of reinvention, resilience, and raw creativity.

The Chicago native first made her mark working alongside icons like Ministry, Die Warzau, and 16 Volt before forming Sister Soleil, catching the attention of Universal Records, and landing a Top 40 hit with “Kiss Kiss.” Her voice would go on to be heard around the world — featured in Kiss the Girls, Underworld: Awakening, and even climbing international charts in multiple languages.

After a successful run in A&R and a powerhouse return to the stage as frontwoman of Dirty Little Rabbits with Slipknot’s Shawn Crahan, Stella has once again found herself back where it all began — chasing the creative spark. Her latest project revisits the long-shelved single “HELLO,” now reimagined with producer John Fryer and a dream team of collaborators, signaling a bold new chapter in her ever-evolving journey.

In this episode, Stella joins Mike for an honest and inspiring conversation about the highs, the heartbreaks, and the magic that keeps her making music on her own terms.
