With wide-ranging material inspired by everything from country to soul to blues to punk, the Los Angeles-based artist conjures up an atmosphere informed by her intense fascination with the more macabre edge of the pop-culture underground: Elvira, The Cramps and late 80’s horror movies. As the daughter of the founders and owners of American brand Chrome Hearts, she’s simultaneously pursued her passions for music and design, emerging as a creative force behind the brand and designing custom items for musicians like Post Malone, Orville Peck, and Yungblud.
She’s also launched her own merch company called Deadly Doll (named for one of her songs), which began with creating merch for her tour and soon snowballed into a successful merch company, with Stark taking the helm and designing each piece herself. With her music-career milestones including opening for Guns N’ Roses and Jane’s Addiction and touring with The Heavy, Stark started releasing singles as a solo artist in 2017 and soon amassed an expansive body of work. In 2021, French fashion house Balmain and Channel 4 enlisted her to star in its five-part episodic drama Fracture, for which Stark created the original music (a selection of songs featured in her four-track EP, A Pretty Place To Fall Apart); and 2022 saw Stark’s Lollapalooza debut and the release of her album DOOMED.
This past year Stark completed her first international headlining tour playing cities across Europe, the UK, and North America, and ended the year on a high note, opening for Post Malone at a series of New Year’s Eve shows at the BleauLive Theater in Las Vegas’ new Fontainebleau Hotel. She went on the road with The Veronicas on their 2024 Gothic Summer Tour which hit cities across the United States back in April.
