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.
