Stephanie has been performing nationally since 1994. Her international upbringing in South America, Australia and Europe exposed her at a young and influential age such that by age 20 the course of her music was brought into the dimension of World Music.
For seven years, she toured nationally with the robust World Music a cappella quartet, “VIDA”. Managed by NYC's IMG-Artists, they toured the U.S. extensively, gaining local and national attention from Industry Press such as Billboard Magazine. They received much attention for their Eastern European and S.African harmonies after auditioning for Paul Simon's The Capeman. They recorded two albums-”VIDA” and “In Bloom”.
For 12-years, Stephanie has collaborated with musical partner, Modern Drummer's acclaimed percussionist Julian Douglas. Together, they form “The Resonance Project”- composing avant garde voice and percussion pieces, drawing from African, Afro-Cuban, Eastern European, Jazz and Early Music. Collectively, they have created an extremely unique voice and style all their own. Together, their band "Ensemble Nada" performs 15th century Sephadic-Spanish music, and Devotional music from around the Globe. Indian innuendos, middle eastern percussion, and Old World Spanish influences combine to create their unique sound that is gutsy, and packs a punch!
From 2006-2007 R&B Singer-songwriter Charles Gibson brought his vision to The Resonance Project for collaboration and unfolding of music. They released a co-written CD, “Your Voice Through Mine” in January 2008. Order it at http://yourvoicethroughmine.com
Stephanie currently performs Early Spanish music, including 15c Sephardic and 13c Spanish “Cantigas de Santa Maria”. She has recorded a CD of this music entitled “The Cantiga Project”. Stephanie performs these works with ensembles such as Asheville's acclaimed “Free Planet Radio” (Asheville, NC); Concert Pianist Sergio Barer (Los Angeles); and Percussionist Julian Douglas (Florida).
Stephanie has shared the stage with NY's Metropolitan Opera highly acclaimed Mezzo, Brenda Boozer, whom she has studied with since 2004.
