Lakota artist Stella Standingbear is in her bag, releasing her latest single, “Mmhmm,” last Friday, October 3rd, 2025. The track is now available on all major streaming platforms, accompanied by a must-see music video on YouTube. This release comes as she gains serious momentum, embarking on a multi-state press tour to connect with some of the industry’s most influential media outlets.
Currently making waves in New York City and beyond, Stella is sitting down with a stacked list of platforms, including 4Shooters, WeFamATL, Hash1ATL, Live from the Caddy, The Red Mic District, Hang the Line, 4x4shotthat, TheLoveTy, DMTV, and YoWhoDisCalling. This intensive media run is a clear signal of her growing influence and the industry’s excitement for her new music.
Stella Standingbear isn’t just an emerging artist; she’s a history-maker. As the first Lakota artist to win two awards at the 2023 Indigenous Hip-Hop Awards, she has consistently broken new ground. An independent Recording Academy artist and a two-time Native American Music Award (NAMMY) winner, her unique blend of melodic alt-rap, R&B, and pop has cultivated a massive and dedicated following of over 500,000 across her social media channels.
Her journey has been one of relentless touring across the United States and Canada, performing at sold-out shows and creating viral moments that have reached tens of millions worldwide. Her hit remix “SKODEN” became a sensation on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, while her single “Pray U 4” was featured on MTV Spankin’ New and championed by Apple Music across several key playlists.
Stella’s crossover appeal is undeniable. She recently shared the stage with Trippie Redd at the Toyota Arena in California and made a historic appearance on On The Radar Radio, where she proudly incorporated traditional dancers into her performance. With features in major publications like Teen Vogue, Hot97, and DAZED, and her single “Home Runs” hitting #1 on the NCI FM Indigenous Music Countdown (SiriusXM), Stella has cemented her status as a powerhouse in both Indigenous and mainstream music circles.
