The duo Starar from Lincoln, UK consist of siblings Jenna Starar, born in 1989 and Steven Starar, born in 1987. Starar formed from their mutual interest in wonderful melodic music and that fact they both were inspired to start learning musical intruments in 2004. Jenna took up playing guitar and keyboards and Steven started playing drums and bass. They both loved the idea of songwriting and once they were fluent on their respective instruments they began writing in early 2006. From this seed of an idea, over a couple of years of practicing singing, intruments and songwriting they starting sending out demos to labels, managers etc. The demo packages were met with positive responses from managers such as Jamelia's management who said "Starar show great talent," and said "I know I will be hearing more about you in the near future", aswell as a successful, reputed Australian songwriter/drummer/producer (who has performed and written for Cliff Richard) who reviewed their songs as "Well crafted and personally inspired." And a British arranger/singer/songwriter who reviewed one of their songs as "nicely sung, some nice harmonies, drum playing was very good and guitar also was very nice." Along with these positive reviews, and more, they have also been played on BBC Radio Lincolnshire on two occasions with 'Who Will You Hurt?' in August 2009 and 'Brand New Wave' in September 2009, both tracks are featured on their new album, 'Who'. Their major influences are greats such as The Beatles, The Police, Toto, Hanson, Paul Simon and many other rock, pop and soul musicians, songwriters and singers. The qualities of these artists shine through in Starar's music, performances and songwriting. Starar aspire to have a successful and creative career and have a passion, drive and talent to fulfill this dream. Read more on Last.fm.
