Some would call Stephanie a singer-songwriter. She calls her self a song-hunter.
“Song are sneaky little beasts…”
Perhaps her rugged approach to the profession came from her rural New England upbringing. Barefoot on the back porch was where she “found” her first song, letting her fingers wander the neck of an old acoustic guitar. She started stalking simple folk songs but quickly wandered into Rock, Pop and Trip Hop territory. Her journey soon led her to Berlin, where she officially launched her music career.
It wasn’t long before Stephanie became a frequently featured writer in Germany’s most popular Singer-Circles. Her “tender yet ferocious” performances and recordings led to radio play on some of the country’s largest stations, television appearances and several live, studio and songwriting collaborations with R&B, Rock, Pop, Folk and Electronic artists. In 2006 she competed against Europe’s best singer-songwriters during the Troubadour Acoustic Song Contest and was voted unanimously into first place by the audience and professional jury, giving her a slot in Brett Perkin’s Listening Room – a world renowned Songwriters’ Workshop.
In 2007 she met Horst Niewierra, a sound designer from Nürnberg. What began as a remix project transformed into the formation of the electronic band Ruby Rough at the end of 2008. Their debut album is due in December of 2010, but they’ve already been featured in television, film and commercials all over the world.
