Stella-Bella
Favourite Quote: “Get Over It!”




"Stella-Bella!", as she’s known, has been linked to the company since October 2003, as webmaster and artistic consultant.

Originating and living in Hertfordshire, she has steadily built-up her knowledge and design skills, in what she likes to call "home from home" style industry!

“…it’s petite, just like me! But I prefer to keep my work small so I can give a more sincere perspective on what people need and want.”

Her work has spanned many areas, including with numerous 80’s bands and artists, and a day-job at the Sigue Sigue Sputnik offices!! She has also been called upon to provide research for fan clubs, media articles, and primetime TV programmes.

Things mainly kicked-off though when she devised, wrote and produced fanzines and publicity material for chart-topping 80’s band T’Pau and their lead singer Carol Decker. The project, which spanned over 7 years, was extremely well received by all, and helped to maintain their worldwide fan base, of which she is still a part of today.

In 2001, Stella became a PR consultant and designer for East-Midlands singer/songwriter Findley Webster and her band. With it, came the whole new experience of being a webmaster, and she swiftly found herself building and maintaining over 3 websites, in addition to her ‘ink on paper’ duties.

But on joining The Tony Carnagie Show, Stella undoubtedly found her ideal role, as it incorporated all her attributes in one fell swoop…

Tony says: “Stella has an uncompromising eye for detail and an amazing knowledge of the ever important musical and popular culture trivia, which is crucial as they are the most important details that people remember… i.e. which cheek Monroe's beauty spot was on, the year 'Karma Chameleon' was released, what outfit Madonna wore in the Vogue video, various choreography, and other important stuff that audiences remember!!

She also has an extensive knowledge of celebrities and their lifestyles, habits, personalities, traits, fashion sense etc, which comes in useful to me as I can consult her before I get a costume or wig made!”

As well as her love of music and entertainment, Stella lends a helping hand with various community and voluntary organisations, one being for her local Cerebral Palsy charity Star SCOPE, with designing and printing magazines, posters and flyers.
