Active with the TGDP: 2013-2022
Stellar holds a double B.A. in Linguistics and Religious Studies from Pomona College, and came to the TGDP in 2013 with several years of linguistics research under their belt. While an undergraduate, they spent a semester living and traveling in India, Nepal and Tibet, where they researched the relationships and roles of Tibetan, Hindi and English in the Tibetan exile community of Dharamsala. Back in the States, their senior thesis research focused on the phonetics and phonology of falling tones in Luganda, a Bantu language spoken in Uganda. After a few years in Northern California post-graduation, they moved to Austin in 2012 to pursue their dream of music, and have released albums both as a solo artist and with their band The Seventh String. They also organize with Austin activists, write contemplative poetry, take a long view of history, and write and sing songs of liberation, healing and joy.
