Stephanie Rivers (c) 2008
Stephanie Rivers was born and raised in Oklahoma - but don't think her
music is country - she calls it "Folk Soul." Influenced by artists
such as Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Ani DiFranco, Lauren Hill and
Mariah Carey, Stephanie writes and composes music that combines her
varied skills and flair for eclectic combinations of Jazz, R&B, Soul,
Classical, Folk, Rock and House genres to create her own unique sound.
The combo has been a hit across the globe. At her New York city
concerts her voice, grooves and live performances get everybody up and
dancing. In Europe, she landed a record deal working with some of the
best producers in House & Dance from England, which led to features on
an album from Italy.
However, all this began with modest roots in Oklahoma. As a child,
Stephanie began in community talent showcases and public television
forums in Tulsa, which starred young community talent. From "Star
Search," to "Puttin' on the Hits", Stephanie sang, danced, acted and
modeled on community stages, in churches, and in school programs. By the time she was ten years old, she was studying classical piano
and voice, which combined later with guitar serves helped to propel
her vast musical talent and ability - which now has even amazed a
crowd of 500 in New York's Central Park. After you hear her voice,
lyrics and fantastic rhythms - you'll see why she continues to amaze.
