Starley

Starley Hope (born 3 October 1987), known mononymously as Starley, is an Australian singer and songwriter. She is best known for her debut single "Call on Me", released in 2016, which was remixed into a club song by Ryan Riback the following year.

Biography Early life Starley Hope was born and raised in Sydney, New South Wales, to a Mauritian father and an Australian mother of Filipino and Japanese descent. Her mother was a lounge singer and her father owned a blinds company. Her mother named her Starley, expecting her to be a star. She grew up in a religious family and sung in church as a child and initially wanted to be a drummer. In the U.S., it peaked at number 65 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 9 on the Dance/Electronic Songs record chart.

In 2018, Starley performed at the Sydney Mardi Gras for the first time and was the co-headline act at the official party.

In June 2018, Starley released "Love Is Love", a track to promote queer acceptance, released six months after the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey.

In July and August 2018, Starley supported Katy Perry on the Australian dates of Witness: The Tour.

In November 2018, she appeared in the music video for "Baby" by Clean Bandit.

Starley released her debut album, One of One, on 25 September 2020.

In September 2022, Starley collaborated with music producer Jolyon Petch for their original single "I Just Want Your Touch", released on Central Station Records. The song topped the number-one spot on the ARIA Club Chart for five consecutive weeks.

Personal life Starley told her family she was bisexual in 2017. She had previously dated men and told Star Observer that her highly religious family were "surprised" and her announcement was a "big deal for them". She has suffered from depression, which she treated by exercising as much as three hours per day and at one time was interested in being a personal trainer.
