Artistry
Musical style
While working on Violetta, Stoessel met with pop music and Latin music. She later transferred the pop sound to her first solo album Tini (Martina Stoessel). As Stoessel matured, her follow-up record, Quiero Volver, was described as an evolution to a new sound exploring the more serious sound of Latin music. Stoessel expanded with genres that are common to her home country such as reggaeton, cumbia, urban and trap sound, on her third studio album Tini Tini Tini, which she praised for having "a lot of variety and all kinds of sounds". The Latin music elements are also present, as well as integrates elements and heavy influences of electronica, in her fourth studio album Cupido, which she described as "An era full of growth and personal discovery." In addition, Stoessel is also recognizable by her romantic ballads and said, "I don't wake up every day feeling any one way. I don't want to do the same thing every day. I don't listen to the same kind of music, or even the same kind of genre, every day. So when it comes to recording music, I do different things. I'm always changing, evolving. Some days I want to write a ballad, others I want to work on a reggaeton song. I wanted to break apart these ideas that if you write and sing ballads, you can't do much else."
Stoessel has also been influenced by her Argentine heritage, which was a major inspiration to her, for use in the poem with tango, on her third album and explained, "In Argentina we listen to cumbia a lot, and on "22" we did a fusion of cumbia and reggaeton, and it was the very first song I released from this album. And, "Duele" is very similar because tango is something that represents Argentina and all Argentines. The song is a fusion of tango and trap, which I had not done before. Those two songs represent the Argentine heritage."
Influences
Even before her career was launched by Disney, and even more because of that, Stoessel was already a fan and was inspired throughout her career by Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, who, like her, were successful protagonists on Disney Channel and later forayed into the music industry. She was also questioned by the media if she would follow the same pathsometimes controversialas some of them, to which she stated that each one does what they like and follows their own road; she would not follow the same path as other Disney stars.
As Stoessel grew in her profession as a singer, she also found other inspirations. Her biggest influences according to Billboard are Beyoncé, Justin Bieber and Shakira. In 2019, in a cover story for the Mexican edition of Seventeen, when asked which was the biggest of them, Stoessel replied: "Beyoncé! She's awesome, I love her. I love everything she does, her music, her shows are amazing, how she dances [...] I like that you can see how she is present in the smallest details." This was already confirmed in previous years through her visual style (she worked with stylist Paula Selby Avellaneda, who had worked with Beyoncé), live performances and choreographies. Stoessel further cited Beyoncé as the person who she would like to collaborate with the most and also called the singer her "favorite artist": "She has inspired my career." Stoessel has praised Spanish musician Alejandro Sanz, with whom she collaborated on the 2020 pop ballad "Un Beso en Madrid", which she described as a "dream come true", and Puerto Rican musician Daddy Yankee, who she cited as a "teacher", stating that collaborating with him would be a "dream"; she grew up listening to both artists and stated them as her influences in Latin music.
Personal life
Stoessel resides in San Isidro, Buenos Aires. Due to the expansion of her music career, she also often resides in Los Angeles, California, and in Miami, Florida, where she has apartments. She speaks Spanish (her native language), Italian, and English. Stoessel has said she struggled with both anxiety and panic attacks, and that it was very difficult for her to return to the stage. She has also said she has been in therapy, and when she goes on tour, she usually takes her therapist with her.
