NAME: Spq-Her (pronounced "speak her")
HOMETOWN: Chicago, IL
YEARS ACTIVE: 4
MUSIC CATEGORY: Soul, Hip Hop, Progressive, World
ADDITIONAL SKILLS: Mentors, Activists
Spq-Her is not a "group", they refer to themselves as a "duo/team." These two humble young ladies began their influential music careers as artist(s) on the underrated local Chicago underground hip hop/soul/poetry scene. StephStaa (vocalist/femcee/songwriter) and WiZdom (vocalist/poet/songwriter) are the beautifully talented members
of this dynamic duo. These two soulful divas come with that "Triple Threat" flavor that instantly captures you!!!
Spq-Her joined forces in December 2004. All too often, music groups are manufactured, but Stephstaa and WiZdom exercised sisterhood first. Organically, their friendship transcended into a business relationship. First, they supported each other on individual projects, next they put the pen to the pad, arranged harmonies over tracks and invaded venues on a national level as Spq-Her.
In 2006, Spq-Her dropped their rare/exclusive EP "DEFENDERZ." This eight song EP was a pre-released due to the high demand of internet responses and their faithful fast growing fan base. During the spring, Spq-Her helped organized their first grassroot/independent five city Summer USA tour named: "HipHop Soul INVASION!!!" They recruited fellow artist on the verge and performed at venues in: Las Vegas,NV; Los Angeles,CA; Atlanta,GA and
Richmond,VA and their hometown Chicago,IL. So successful, Spq-Her returned from this tour "sold-out" of merchandise and still to this day they receive "RAVE" reviews!!!
The ladies of Spq-Her have shared the stage with known artists such as: Legendary Dj Kool Herc, KRS ONE, Large Professor, Common, Darien Brockington, Erykah Badu, Kindred the Family Soul, Lalah Hathaway, Jennifer Hudson, Syleena Johnson, Rashaan Patterson and Lisa Raye to name a few.
Their highly anticipated LP "DEFENDERZ...Article A" dropped in October 2008 and it continues to generate sales, which appeals to all races and ages!
From national publications to appearances on several cable network channels, Spq-Her has independently created a buzz for themselves. Chicago's popular radio station "Soul 106.3 FM" declared Spq-Her as their "Soul Searching BomBay Sapphire 2008 Winners!!!" Spq-Her's professional aggressive approach of getting things done has kept work consistent, which allows them to work even harder towards their dreams.
Spq-Her's purpose is beyond music, far beyond this current existence. Their music and style is simply prolific, it will empower, heal, uplift, inspire and soothe. They believe that it is vital to create songs with substance. Moreover, instill positivity in music for future generations."Spq-Her's gumption combined with a method of creating and delivering music comes from a spirit of passion and endless possibilities. We have a responsibility to everyone that listens. We have to balance the airwaves and remember where we came from so that we can bless others," says WiZdom of Spq-Her.
"Spq-Her is also about shining the light on that strong independent woman, she has a strong voice, she has life changing words to say for the better, she stays in that constant positive motion for humanity. The sound we bring will always evolve and will live timelessly," says StephStaa of Spq-Her.
Currently, Spq-Her is in the process of recording their third LP, collaborating with fellow musical peers(independent/major) and actively performing stages near you!!!

Lord Jesus Christ we come before You, standing in the gap, for everyone that receives and sees this, their families and loved ones, thank You for waking us up this morning, to see another day, You didn’t have to do it, but You did, we confess all of our sins past, present and future, thank You for Your Word which says(1John1:9If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action].)please help us to repent and turn from our wicked ways, help us to walk in Your light (1John1:6[So] if we say we are partakers together and enjoy fellowship with Him when we live and move and are walking about in darkness, we are [both] speaking falsely and do not live and practice the Truth [which the Gospel presents].7But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].) and not do our own will, but the will that is Yours, which is pleasing to Your sight, guide, direct, and comfort us, we cant do anything without You, pour out Your divine grace, and mercy upon us, and as we seek You in your Word, please give us Your wisdom, through the Holy Spirit, help us to retain it, in our hearts, speak to us in a way, we would know it was You, we give You all the glory honor and praise. Romans 3:23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans6:23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans10:4For Christ is the end of the Law [the limit at which it ceases to be, for the Law leads up to Him Who is the fulfillment of its types, and in Him the purpose which it was designed to accomplish is fulfilled. That is, the purpose of the Law is fulfilled in Him] as the means of righteousness (right relationship to God) for everyone who trusts in and adheres to and relies on Him. 9Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation. 11The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him [who adheres to, relies on, and trusts in Him] will [ever] be put to shame or be disappointed. John 3:16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. 2 Peter 3:9The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people's conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.) continue to lead us on the path were You will be glorified the most, for we know we, were not made for our own desires , do a work in us that we cant do ourselves, speak to us in a way that we know it is You, not our will but Your will be done. May every one who see this and their loved ones be called a faithful and obedient child of God at Judgment Day. Stay blessed and in His Divine Favor my friend 1!!!
May the Lord Jesus Christ lead you to the will He has for your life guide direct protect & provide His divine favor to you & your loved ones.Lord help us to do those things that are pleasing to Your sight.By all means necessary, do in us what we cant do ourselves, help us to focus on You, and not our earthly circumstances. Stay blessed and remember Jesus loves you. May the Lord Jesus pour out these same blessings to every eye that see it.Stay blessed my friend 1!
