TINA STAR – Stand Up Drums & Vocals

Born in San Diego, California, Tina Star grew up fascinated by the Golden Age of Cinema, music, dance, pin-up imagery, and pretty much everything rockabilly!  Her professional music & dance career began at a young age of twelve, performing in professional ballet and theater shows in such places including The Civic Theatre, The Prado, Moonlight Amphitheatre, Starlight Amphiheatre, The Old Globe, The Orpheum Theatre, and The War Memorial Opera House. Tina joined The Stilettos in 2006 as a backup vocalist, but it was just in the last 5 years Tina took on playing the drums! However, Tina doesn’t just play the drums…she plays them standing up! Tina’s influences include Slim Jim Phantom, Jon Bonham and Gene Krupa, as well as, Ella Fitzgerald, Patsy Cline, Frank Sinatra, The Everly Brothers and The Stray Cats. Tina loves “beatin’ the skins” and hopes to continue learning all she can about percussion!
