Her family had to leave Kenya because her father, who is a journalist, wrote the unpleasant truth about the than Kenyan president Moi (which was a quite risky thing to do at that time). Therefore, her father decided to move the family to Norway where they got the political refugee status and later became the Norwegian citizens.
Nowadays she is one of the most popular female singers in Norway but Stella newer forgot where she is from. She is a proud African woman and she has a celebrity status in a number of African countries including her native Kenya, Senegal, Gambia, etc.
