Biography

Starling Arrow is an all-star cast of spirit-folk songstresses featuring Leah Song and Chloe Smith of Rising Appalachia, Tina Malia, Ayla Nereo, and Marya Stark. The members of the female-fronted super-group Starling Arrow share a common devotion for the love of songwriting, which they elegantly captured in their debut album, Cradle, coming out on February 16, 2023. These artists are brought together by a mutual love of beauty, the power of music as a sanctuary, and the deep joy of encountering the muse. Powerhouse songwriters in their own right, and innovative leaders within the industry, this joining is a potent gift of synergy. 
 The ensemble of Starling Arrow was unintentionally conceived during the pandemic’s lockdown. The 5 musicians were inspired to meet weekly over Zoom to sing and alchemize the chaos of a changing world into their craft of songwriting. Each week they choose a topic and style of song to inspire their writing. Then they would share what they had created, each taking a turn to unveil their song. The collective wrote countless songs over 2 years of weekly communing and creating. Deep in their own exploration, the 5 muses chose to keep the music to themselves. But the universe had other plans. During a spontaneous meetup in person, and the desire to sing together, Starling Arrow began to record with Tina Malia at the helm as engineer and producer. Cradle is coming in it’s entirety on February 16, 2023, with 5 singles released prior.
