Eva Cassidy was the first person who influenced me, and gave me a shove in the right direction :) Time after Time was the first song I ever performed in front of people, so that song means alot to me. She was a wonderful singer and her music is really laid back and brilliant to listen to.
I have had so much support from singer song writers like:
The Acoustic Project
Man Made Noise
Alex Hume
Luke Keegan... just to mention a few :)
The people that influence me and encourage me most are the people that truly believe in me and who have been so encouraging and amazing. This year i've met so many people who have been so supportive, so thankyou you all :)
Sounds Like
Some people say i sound a bit like Eva or Suzan Vega. They are amazing artists so thats great! I'd like to think I have my own sound though.
Hey, well I'm Steph and i've been singing for just over 2 years now. My first gig was Fleetwoodstock 2006 which was an amazing festival. Since then I have been doing gigs all over the place also perfoming at Liverpool Sound City, Gage Park Festival in Hamilton, Ontario and showcased at Canadian Music Week twice. We have done sessions for BBC Manchester and BBC Lancashire and were featured on the 2008 London Calling festival CD :D
The new EP Pretend is now in available on iTunes. Physical copies will be available soon. In the meantime you can buy it on 1GB USB drive from the Sonic Vista shop.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
