STARR SHEPPARD-DECKER is a singer/songwriter in the Portland, OR area who has been performing for over 30 years. By the time she was 20, she had already sang in front of large crowds and was writing and performing her own music.
Over the years she has participated in various projects, including StarrVor (a 90’s rock cover duo), multiple rock bands, The Anythingers musical, The Friends Gospel Chorus, and two spiritual CD’s. The CD project The Next Step features Starr as lead vocalist on several songs, as well as one of the producers. Starr spent years singing for Sunday services at the Portland Center for Spiritual Living, and still occasionally sings around town at Spiritual Communities.
Starr has not only shared the stage with such powerful presences as LaRhonda Steele, Linda Rossi, Ken Brewer, Jim Solberg, Don Shultz, and Janice Scroggins, she also was a Karaoke DJ in multiple bars across Portland for over a decade.
After not much musical action for a few years, Starr is pleased to have connected with some incredible musicians at the end of 2017. Working on songwriting and production, Starr is thrilled to be challenged by her music yet again. This project hopes to have some recordings for the public by the end of 2018, and may consider live shows after that.
