Stella Mozgawa is drummer in Los Angeles all-girl quartet Warpaint.



Since forming in 2004, the band has had trouble holding on to a full-time drummer. The first drummer was actress/musician, Shannyn Sossamon, sister of current Warpaint bassist, Jenny Lee Lindberg. Red Hot Chili Pepper Josh Klinghoffer also spent some on drums. It wasn’t until 2009 that they found a full-time

drummer, Stella Mozgawa.



Stella has been drumming since she was 13. She grew up in Sydney, Australia, listening to Tool, Quiet Riot, and Primus for her drumming inspiration. As she matured as a drummer she moved on to Levon Helm, Keith Moon, and John Bonham. She began her career with the band Mink.



Since Stella Mozgawa relocated to Los Angeles, she has been a session drummer for about a dozen bands and has shared the stage with Perry Farrell, Flea, Tom Morello plus John Frusciante, and has toured Australia with Laura Imbruglia.



In addition to being a member of Warpaint, Stella is a full-time member in Australian madman Andy Clockwise’s band.
