North Star is a collaboration between Bay Area singer / songwriters Hilary, Maya and Leah. The band was formed out of weekly songwriting gatherings at Leah's Fairfax Studio. We fell in love with each other's songs and harmonizing together. Inspired by other collaborations of female songwriters we admired, like the Rainbow girls, Plains and Highwoman, we decided to see what we could create together. Believing whole heartily in how soulful, honest music can bring together, uplift and inspire people and serve something greater than ourselves. Leah's sister gave us the name, noting this act of service will remain your North Star.
