Stephanie Angelini

Artist on the Rise

Who are your inspirations? (as in other artists)

Kate Bush, Shania Twain and Taylor Swift.

How did you get started?

I was 13 years old at the time when I wanted to take up professional singing lessons, so I did. Then from there I spiralled into all aspects of musical theatre, stage and TV acting, a TV singing group called ‘Jamie Redfern’s Superkids’ and when reaching my late teens and early 20’s I delved into a cover band and solo live performances. Since then, I continue to perform as a solo artist and with a cover band while writing, recording and releasing original songs!

Who are your favorite bands/singers?

Kate Bush, Shania Twain, Taylor Swift, The Carpenters, John Denver, Chris Isaak, Keith Urban, Belinda Carlisle and Jewel.

What do you think about when your performing?

I’m usually keeping an ear out for the music so I am in time and beat with the song and portraying what the song is about to my audience.

What else can we expect from you in the future?

More original music and hopefully a world tour!

What was your first song ever sung?

Not Me, Not I. - Delta Goodrem

When did you first start singing?

When I was around 5 years old, just around the house. I would put on little shows in my living room by myself and pretend I was singing to thousands of people.

What did your family do to encourage you?

My family til this day continue to support and encourage me in every way they can. It’s through their love, supporting words and actions that keeps me going. I believe they are one of the very reasons why I am here today. They’ve assisted me a lot in organising promotional material too, like my brother Michael takes a lot of my promo photoslike the one on my album LIFE LESSONS.

Have you always enjoyed the art of music?

Absolutely! The process is magical. Turning something that was literally just an idea, a one liner, a dream sequence or an experience to a musical story is my life.

Any loves, other then music? Who are your musical inspirations?

I’ve always been an empathetic person and have a natural ability to connect and care for others. I love it. Without each other, who and where would we be?

What was the best advice ever given to you?

From my gorgeous Mum: “It takes patience, persistence and perseverance” I live by this not only with my music, but in my everyday life.

if you could have any style wat would it be?

I’ve always loved fashion from the 60’s. So cool! Maybe I’ll bring it back...

What kind of music do you listen to today?

Literally, anything that gravitates towards my liking on a certain day. One day I’ll feel like listening to old school 90’s party tunes. The next day it might be the top 40 and then another day throw me the 60’s, 70’s or 80’s and I’ll be engulfed in that.
