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.

Hola Stephanie. He escuchado tus canciones y me parece algo muy original y personal. Muy bien trabajado y con mucho gusto. En general no me gusta mucho la fusión de estilos porque no le veo creatividad a la gente que lo hace. Es como si fusionaran estilos para esconder su falta de creatividad. Desde luego este no es tu caso. Tú utilizas todas esas posibilidades para componer una música muy original y sugerente... y muy vocal. Me gusta. Seguiré con atención tu trabajo. Yo también soy compositor y pronto abriré una página en myspace con música mía. Te lo comunicaré. Quién sabe, quizá te guste...incluso quizá podamos algún dia hacer algo juntos! Nunca se sabe a donde nos pueden llevar los caminos de la música. Un beso y mis mejores deseos de felicidad y éxito. Juan Brage (Nois)
Your song Surrender hit me hard. It's rare that I love the music of someone wanting to be my friend. You've got the soul and the taste. Great percussion tracks from Julian.
Hey Steph, It was so great hanging with you at the Expo. You have such a warm and positive spirit. Let's do stay in touch, ok? Still want to hear more of your "journey!" I look forward to hearing your music. Que Dios te bendiga. Dawn
