Stephanie James

Stephanie James does more with her stunning voice than perform music: she tells stories. Stephanie, a pop and soul singer-songwriter, uses her powerful vocals and poignant lyrics to inspire her audiences. “I want to empower people with my music in a way that reminds them we are all human – we all hurt, love, and have the ability to overcome fears and be better every day,” she says. Her songs accordingly span a wide emotional range. Audiences have said she can move them to tears and then bring them right back up to the height of joy. Her voice manages to carry the fragility and gravity of intense feelings in a way that reaches straight to the soul of the listener. 

Her debut EP, Rise with the Tide, is a soul-stirring, heartfelt reflection of her inner battles with anxiety and her experiences falling in and out of love. It aims to move listeners to overcome their struggles using the power of love while exploring themes of rebirth, revival, and renewal. She stands up for herself in this EP, and, in doing so, empowers her listeners to do the same.  The songs are refined and yet overflowing with raw emotion. The EP’s ballads solidify Stephanie’s status as a fresh throwback, a poised and powerful performer, a reincarnation of Dusty Springfield combined with Sara Bareilles.

Stephanie has performed in numerous venues in the Greater Boston area. She’s currently preparing for her first tour and working on her next album.
