Stephanie K's Hollywood looks and astounding vocal talent make a very powerful combination. She writes all of her own songs, lyrics and melodies, as well as sings all of the vocals (leads and backgrounds). From her Spanish and European ancestry to her Detroit roots, Stephanie%u2018s unique persona blends youth, raw emotion and sophistication.
Stephanie K has worked with such world-renowned producers as Detail (Mya, Brandy, Ray-J, Akon, Snoop, etc.), Grammy Award winner Michael J. Powell (Anita Baker, S.W.V., Aretha Franklin, etc.), Symphony (Stat Quo of Shady/Aftermath), Detroit's Carl B (Slum Village), and platinum producer K.I.D.D. (B.G., Snoop Dogg, Tone-Tone). Just recently, she co-wrote and recorded a duet entitled "GoGo" with Grammy award winner and R&B superstar Mya. Two of her songs, 'Trouble' and 'Ice Cream', are gathering major street buzz with both club and radioplay in Michigan, Windsor, London and Ohio. 'Keep It Going (Club Mix)' has also spun on the radio and in clubs. In addition, Stephanie finished as a Top 10 Finalist in the prestigious 2006 Great American Song Contest for 'Just Go'. 'Let It Ride' received an Honor award in 2005.
Stephanie has been a fearless and accomplished performer from the beginning. She has been regularly selected (among the likes of Anita Baker and Aretha Franklin) to sing the national anthem at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the premiere arena in the Detroit Area, for the NBA's World Champion Detroit Pistons in front of sell-out crowds of over 22, 000 people. She has also performed her original material live at halftime at the Palace. She also sings for the Harlem Globetrotters, the Detroit Fury, the WNBA's Detroit Shock, Motocross Tournaments, Toughman Contests and Budweiser Fight Nights. She has performed her original songs live on television (including a feature on FOX 2 News St. Louis) and in such famous venues as the House of Blues in Hollywood.
Stephanie also worked as a DJ, Promotions Director, and News Director at a community radio station, WBFH 88.1 FM, for two years. She received several awards from both the Michigan Association of Broadcasters (MAB) and the Michigan Association of Educational Broadcasters (MAEB), including the MAB award for second best DJ in the entire state. In 2002, she was the State Champion in the Michigan Interscholastic Forensic Association (MIFA) State Finals Tournament in the category of Storytelling. Stephanie is also a regular stand-in as The Detroit Pistons In-Arena Hostess on television during Pistons Broadcasts.
Idolizing Ray Charles, she writes every day, pulling material from her life experiences. She is never satisfied with her work until her body is both physically and emotionally drained. Says Steph: "Music is all about passion. Making someone 'feel' isn't easy. But nothing worthwhile ever is."
In addition to all of her singing, Stephanie enjoys kickboxing, running and the NBA. Musical theater is also her forte, as her credits include the lead roles in "Guys and Dolls", "Anything Goes", "Me and My Girl", and many more.
