It was a hard time for the singer; diagnosed during her teens with the fatal neurological disorder, Myopathy, during her teens, she was unable to take up her position in an Ivy League University. During this time she considered various ways of ending her own life, including assisted suicide. Thankfully she didn&#8217;t go ahead with this, and while staying in a hospital in Leipzig, where she was receiving stem cell treatment, she came up with the title track, &#8216;Miracle&#8217;, and the first lyric she wrote was, &#8220;It&#8217;s a miracle that I survived all of this.&#8221; Stella has since then worked hard to focus on research towards research towards experimental treatments for incurable diseases.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stella is deeply influenced by the music which peppered her chiildhood; classic bands such as Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and Queen, left an indelible mark on her and profoundly affected her songwriting. &#8216;Miracle&#8217; however could be more closely compared to that of Lennon Stella, and Bj\u00f6rk, being alternative, rather than straight pop.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stella has described her writing process as spontaneous and organic, and she writes lyrics down whenever she feels passionate about something. &#8216;Miracle&#8217; is set for release on 14 February and will be available to stream and download from all major platforms.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about Stella Scholaja online on her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellascholaja.com\/music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stellascholaja\/?hl=da\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100011076031780\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>.
