Starner (January 3, 1984 – June 23, 2003) was an American singer-songwriter and musician.
She was born in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, and resided in Bartonsville.
Starner first gained recognition in 1997 when her demo recordings caught the attention of executives at Warner Bros.
Records who subsequently offered her a record deal.
Her official debut single, "Don't Let Them" (1999), received a positive reception upon its release.
She released her debut studio album, From in the Shadows (1999), later that year but it was not commercially successful.
In 2000, Starner worked with members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers for her second album; it was never released.
Unhappy with Warner Bros.
Records, Starner ended her contract and began searching for another company.
During this time, she moved home to be with her family when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.
On June 22, 2003, Starner died suddenly at her home due to complications from bulimia nervosa.
Attempts to revive her at the Pocono Medical Center were unsuccessful.
