Stela Rade (born 14 July 1998) is a Croatian singer.

Early life

[edit]

Stela Rade was born on 14 July 1998.[1] She attended gymnasium in Jastrebarsko.[2]

Career

[edit]

Rade competed on the fourteenth season of the Serbian singing reality television series Zvezde Granda.[3] In October 2023, Rade and her mother Lidija performed on Supertalent, the Croatian edition of Got Talent television series.[4] In December 2023, she released her first EP titled Korak po korak.[5]

In January 2024, Rade came to media attention for her performance in Sveti Ivan Zelina getting cancelled by the town's major.[6] Rade speculated that the cancellation may have been due to her planned use of the accordion, an instrument she noted is still negatively perceived in some parts of Croatia due to its association with turbo folk.[7][8]

In February 2024, Rade released "Balkan Pop," a song submitted to Dora 2024, Croatia's national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, but it was not chosen for the final lineup. She later released a music video presenting her envisioned Eurovision performance, which quickly gained over 145,000 views on YouTube.[9]

On 24 February 2025, Rade was announced to compete on the ninth season of the singing reality television series Tvoje lice zvuči poznato, the Croatian edition of Your Face Sounds Familiar.[10] She won the first episode of the season performing as Josipa Lisac.[11] Rade ultimately won the season.[12]

Artistry

[edit]

In addition to the accordion, for which she is particularly known and frequently incorporates into her performances, Rade also plays guitar, keyboards, and drums.[13] Her musical style has been characterized as a blend of electronic music and traditional Balkan rhythms.[14]
