Hey everyone! My name is Stephanie Mae and I am a singer-songwriter. I write, arrange, play, perform, and produce my songs. I play the piano and the guitar. Simultaneously while self-managing my music career (with the help of my mom and dad of course :) ) I also attend a university in California and am pursuing a B.S. in Biomechanical Engineering.
I have been singing all my life and was first exposed to music at a young age when my mom would play the guitar and teach me the ABC's. When I was little, I would spend hours at a time sitting on my mom and dad's bed listening to the radio, which played a lot of songs by Mariah Carey and other R&B artists. I also remember my mom would play CD's of Sheryl Crow, the Eagles, and Celine Dion in the house (to this day these CD's still bring back childhood memories). When I was a sophomore in high school, I was inspired by Michelle Branch and decided to teach myself how to play the guitar. I started writing songs but kept them to myself and didn't really tell anyone. It wasn't until junior year of high school that I decided to perform one of my songs at an event called "Concert in the Quad." After that performance, I got a lot of positive feedback and decided to play more shows. Since then, I have performed several shows in Arizona and California and was an opening act for Ted Leo and the Pharmacists in 2007.
I am very proud of my filipino heritage. My mom and I have also organized three Filipino Benefit Concerts, raising over $2000 to provide scholarships to Filipino school students.
I just recently released my independent album January 2008, entitled "Poker Face."
