Bio excerpt
You might not believe it if you've ever heard her sing, but Stefanie Seskin got her start in music playing classical flute, following in the footsteps of her older sister. From that early age, Seskin has nurtured a passion for music that took her from 3rd chair flute in her grade school band to become the founder and lead singer of an explosive soul/ pop/ rock band that has been gaining a loyal following everywhere they go.
Seskin gives credit to her family for putting her on the musical road and helping her to stick with it from hobby to career. Seskin's grandfather was a professional musician, touring and recording for Machito's "Afro Cuban Orchestra." Seskin still remembers her granfather's advice on how to improve her playing, when she was in the 3rd grade.
Over the years, Seskin drifted in and out of the music world, playing bass in other bands while composing her own songs and receiving a Master's Degree in Communications at New School University. Eventually, she put together a demo of her original material.
Realizing that she needed a solid band to get her music off the drawing board, Seskin drew upon her contacts in the New Jersey music scene and formed her groundbreaking soul/ jazz/ pop ensemble: blue number nine.
For her first solo album, Seskin took the energy that drives blue number nine to the next dimension. Seskin's ever evolving composition style, mixed with new instruments and imaginative elements added to the milieu, gives her solo a unique character.
The Edge of Reason is the latest manifestation of Seskin's life long goal of self expression.
