about
Born in Philadelphia, singer/songwriter Stephanie Wright began her musical path at an early age. Growing up in California, she studied piano and dreamt of writing and performing her own music. The rigors of classical vocal training began at age 16, when she began the first of nine years under the tutelage of Stacie Anthes. Her work with Mrs. Anthes brought forth her first public performances, and the growth she experienced under her direction convinced Stephanie to remain in Santa Barbara to pursue her academic studies. She attended the University of California, Santa Barbara and graduated magna cum laude, receiving a BA in music with an emphasis in ethnomusicology. Taking a departure from her classical training, Stephanie's musical interests were broadened by her participation in a Middle Eastern ensemble, a Javanese Gamelon ensemble and a few local musicals. During the latter part of her college years, Stephanie began writing her own music at the piano, and after graduation began performing in both California and Colorado at private parties, open mics and benefit concerts. In the winter of 1998, Stephanie decided to pursue a professional music career in New York City. It was there she met the members of her current band, began performing her music regularly throughout the area and recently completed her first self-released album, The Road to Here.
