Disc Jockey
Stephanie has been a Disc Jockey both mobile and in clubs and pubs for many years. The furthest she has travelled to a gig is eighty miles and the longest set she performed was fourteen hours though she did manage to sneak a 30 minute break near the end! Stephanie ran her own promotional night 'Desire' at Jazzmins nightclub Bromley to whereby she would end the weekends with style. Going by the name DJ name 'Angel D*lite' and wearing big white wings, two floors were kitted out London club style with stars and back drops. Upstairs of course being Heaven which included bowls of fluffy marshmallows and downstairs being hell to which tortilla chips were accompanied by hot salsa dips. The staff were dressed up as either angels or devils and Sundays will never be the same again! Hoping to re-launch 'Desire' after being approached by UK Bookings Stephanie is currently in talk about other clubs and promoting this fun packed evening. Look out on the latest news page for further information.
Singer-Songwriter
Though Stephanie admits to not being much of a singer she can surprise even the hardest please at times. Shyness always kept Stephanie from singing on the stage alone as a child but Stephanie has since proved that she can captivate an audience whilst knocking out various covers whilst perfroming with house bands. Stephanie has done various gigs over the years performing her own songs and has made various appearences lately perfroming her latest single Survival. With at least six albums of origibnal unique material behind her Stephanie need never write a song again but insists that making music is like making a cup of tea to her...Stephanie persists "I was born to do this...Why not try and earn a living out of something I not only love doing but something that pleases so many other people too?" I don't know about trying to earn a career but if Stephanie really knew how much she could be worth as an Artist she may fall of her chair!
Instruments
Stephanie is very musically creative and has played mainly keyboards, drums and acoustic guitar over the years. Her step father Peter has Phil Lynotts (Motorhead) first hand customed made bass guitar that he keeps safetly away for Stephanie for a rainy day! "Phil gave it to Peter when he was touring with them...He was getting a new one and just chucked it at Peter telling him to take it home! According to Peter Phil chucked a lot of thing including unsuitable women but he mainly chucked up especially at the after parties!
Though not trained Stephanie has a musical ear and can pick up many an instument and at least get something out of it! The most funniest of all being the accordian to which Stephanie just happened to give it a whirl whilst it was on sale at a local boot fair..."I picked up this worn out old accordian and before I knew it I had a huge crowd of people dancing away! They were all laughing and I just thought poo! Whoever had it before me didn't look after it and it stank!" Stephanie goes on to say that the perfromance didn't last long as the accordian was so old that a hole blew in the side of it...Luckily Stephanie got away without having to pay for damages and Stephanie laughs "I could have paid for it as I had a few pound coins chucked at me as they must have thought I was busking!"
Producing
Stephanie has produced a few dance and urban tracks which are out on the album Indigo Child...She is currently in the studio co-producing an R&B version of Survival with Jo Platinum (Original track out on the 'album' Survival) Stephanie has also produced and co-produced various radio commercials and music and teamed alongside Paul Smailes recorded the most famous advert with Stephanie being both writer and voiceover for one of Grahem Gold's Kiss FM adverts.
Quick Step Steph
From an early age and as far back as Stephanie can remember, Stephanie wanted to be a dancer after being a regular viewer of Mini Pops a 70's version of Top Of The Pops where stage school kids would impersonate pop stars. "I remember seeing this girl who looked exactly like me! She was singing and dancing and I knew I could do the same...I wanted so much to be on that programme!" Back in the day when leg warmers first found their fashion, Stephanie used to dress up at home wearing too her favourite pair of sunglasses. "I used to just stand there posing as if I was already a pop star! I didn't think of asking to go to Stage School as I never even knew there was such a thing!" Stephanie tells me how she used to dance and write music at home and without lessons she just taught herself! "I used to sit there for hours on my keyboards playing and teaching myself different songs and making up dance routines to my favourite songs!"
Stephanie admitted to having a funny dance routine that she would do every time she heard her favourite theme tune on the TV. "As soon as I heard the first note to the Dallas programme I would jump off the sofa and begin kicking my legs high up in the air doing a can-can kind of dance! Because I used to be double jointed I could kick really high and once I kicked my legs up so high that I knocked myself out! I had kicked myelf in the nose and I collapsed!" Lucky not to have broken anything, though every week guaranteed Stephanie usually broke something as she was quite accident prone, Stephanie took her music and dancing to school where she was noticed and realised part of her dream to sing and dance. "I was always being picked out to be lead in the school plays and of course I had the oppertunity to make up the dance routines and songs. It was an amazing feeling to sing and dance but although I was brave enough to act alone, I never sang or danced alone! I was incredibly shy about that for some unknown reason!"
Stephanie went on to become a club dancer later on in life and has danced at various gigs and in various music videos. Though untrained initially Stephanie had a good style and natural technique with various forms of dance but never graded unlike her sister Kirsty who trained with the Royal School of Ballet. Instead of dance, at a younger age Stephanie got picked out to become a gymnast and began grading for the BAGA awards and appeared on The South Bank Show with a gymnastic piece as a child. Being the fact that Stephanie was double jointed she found gymnastics easy and fun but due to her parents seperation and move her career took a sudden downfall. Her good friend Stephen Tell went on to become British Gymnast Champion. Stephanie is just about able to manage the box splits (Ouch! The Ed) aswell as being able to dance on ballet points.
