HorsegiirL on her eco-themed album and balancing music career with wellbeing

HorsegiirL, real name Stella Stallion, is a Berlin-based half-human, half-horse DJ and pop artist whose eclectic style blends Eurodance, 90s techno, happy hardcore and gabba. Known for polarising the dance music scene, she has loyal fans, dubbed ‘farmies’, who embrace her whimsical backstory of being raised on Sunshine Farms and discovered by Whitney Horseton, while critics dismissed her early work as a gimmick. After facing burnout from her globetrotting DJ career, she took a four-month hiatus to focus on her debut album, ‘Nature Is Healing’. The album fuses club music with acoustic instruments and draws inspiration from the natural world, promoting a message of environmental awareness and human reflection without preaching. Collaborating with producers like AG Cook and Margo XS, she explores diverse sounds from 90s Madonna to liquid-pop, while keeping a playful and joyful tone. Despite acknowledging the potential contradiction of promoting eco-consciousness while touring internationally, HorsegiirL emphasises intention and balance. The album includes tracks like ‘Apple a Day’ and ‘Organic Intelligence’, blending pop sensibilities with themes of nature and human duality. She positions herself as an artist more than an activist, focusing on joy, humour, and reflection to engage listeners with environmental ideas, rather than invoking guilt or alarm.
