“Stephanie, when and why did you decide that country music was the genre you needed to be a part of?”

"I didn't, it somehow chose me even when I put up a heck of a fight something kept drawing me back to that particular style" she replied.

Stephanie started singing at the age of 9, when she first fell in love with country music while attempting "Crazy" by Patsy Cline. Her parents instilled in her the sounds of Motown and Classic rock, these different types and styles of music are what kept Stephanie interested in the music business at a very early age. She describes her style of singing as a mixture of country, blues, and just a little bit of soul, Stephanie loves to add in some southern rock influences just to keep the audience guessing, always working to create a sound that is uniquely her own.

Stephanie was born in Colorado then raised in Kansas for most of her life. "I consider myself a Kansas girl at heart, I never want to forget where my roots are grounded." Stephanie competed and sang in various talent competitions all through middle and high school, and then decided College in Texas was the way to go. "I just knew that I needed to be in Texas, maybe it's the big hair and boots that drew me in? I didn’t know it then, but I soon found out the reason as soon as I got there" says Stephanie.

Texas was the first place in which Stephanie truly understood that country music chose her. "I started singing around town in bars, schools, and theatres anywhere I could and it just clicked. It was the first time I could really relate to what I was singing and sing it from the heart." Stephanie says, "In Texas, it’s all country all the time. I fell in love with all the history of the music. Waylon and Willie, and now in Reddirt country with Pat Green and Jack Ingram."

Stephanie just completed a degree in Music Business with an emphasis in voice and finished a six-month internship with the nationally syndicated radio show "Conman Radio Show" where she was known as "Steph the Sexy Intern." Stephanie now lives in Amarillo where she is a local favorite. She has opened for national acts such as Merle Haggard, Joe Diffie, and Aaron Tippin.

"I'm so grateful that people like my music and support a small town girl from Kansas. I know I'm a handful, and everyone loves to remind me of that. I just want my music to be a good representation of my personality, and me: big and loud, relatable and always enjoyable. If I can't make people feel an emotion during a song, then I'm not doing my job. I was put on this earth by God to entertain and that is what I am going to do to the best of my abilities. I thank the Lord everyday for giving me the opportunity to do what I love everyday, sing!”
