Stephanie Renee
She likes to call herself SYNTHESIS...the act of fusing distinct entities to a new, unique creation.
With songwriting and vocal skills that groove and dip across genre, Stephanie Renee masterfully combines influences from jazz, R&B, house and rock music into a mix of sounds that seduces and entrances her listeners.
No stranger to the music world, Stephanie's voice has been featured on several commercial recordings, including Who Is Jill Scott and Patti LaBelle's When A Woman Loves. Recent CD/single releases include: a Steal Vybe remix of the club jam ESP on King Street Sounds; Knowing, a collaboration with Jersey producers Lefunken (available for download and vinyl single at Traxsource.com and DanceTracksDigital.com); Fever on Deep Haven Music; and another Marlon D spiritual house collabo titled No Greater Love. In 2007, Stef had her first inroad into the Asian music market on a collaboration with Swedish producer Opolopo titled "A Deeper Love," released on JVC/Japan. 2008 has been an intense time of learning and growth for Stephanie, and she's now back in the studio actively putting together her next solo project, HOT LIPS.
A respected promoter and rising media mogul, Stephanie pours her dynamic energies into the expansion of her non-profit arts education foundation Soul Sanctuary and her creative services & artist management company Creator's Child Productions, among a wide variety of other performance and educational endeavors. Stephanie's first documentary film, NO SUCH THING AS NEOSOUL, was named an Official Selection for the 2005 STARZ Denver Pan African Film Festival, and screened on Washington DC cable network DCTV in conjunction with the CAN A SISTA ROCK A FILM festival in June in celebration of Black Music Month 2006. She is currently serving as co-executive producer for GenIsUs: Revitalized Teen Talk, a 30-minute public affairs program airing on Comcast Cable Greater Philadelphia. And, as the new Multimedia Director for HeartSpeak, Stephanie will be back behind the camera and in the classroom, helping Philadelphia-area youth express their views about violence and the world through involvement in radio, TV, film and creative writing projects.
Stephanie Renee...bringing it all together and loving every minute of it.
SYNTHESIS, indeed!
