STEFANI SIKORA: A native of the Tulsa area with a soulful, sultry voice that is matured well beyond her years. She has played the piano since the age of 5, and has only been singing since the age of 16. It wasn't until several years later, when she was 23, that she unleashed her inner muse and began her venture into songwriting.Stefani draws from many musical styles for inspiration. She grew up listening to Classic Rock (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Queen). She added Alternative to her music collection during her high school years (Bush, STP, Green Day, Live, No Doubt, The Cranberries, Fiona Apple, Poe, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers). Her college career provided her with a Bachelor of Arts in Musical Theatre and intensive studies in Jazz (Billie Holliday, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Jane Monheit, Diana Krall). Since then, she has developed a love for Soul and R&B (Etta James, Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige, Lauryn Hill, India Arie). Stefani's eclectic taste in music has enriched her own personal style, which is constantly evolving.
