Bio

You are just supposed to be, whatever you’re supposed to be.”

Are the words of emerging songstress Stephanie Tiangco when asked how she would describe her music style. She makes her own rules possessing a deep appreciation for lyrics and melody.

Anything but average Stephanie Tiangco commands an edge that no single mainstream artists has come close to within the last two decades. Singer / Songwriter, Producer, Choreographer, she is an all around talent. A triple threat and something the music industry has yet to see. The debut album “Hard Times” colorfully and lyrically shares her creative mind.

But don’t let her dainty, petite frame, fool you; this young little songstress is larger and louder than life. She is a sight to be seen as she effortlessly glides and bounds around the stage, every note sung with the same strong and emotional intention. She is a performer that pleasantly does just that. Her performances and talent are as much unforgettable as undeniable.

As we sit I ask her
Q:“So who are your influences? What inspired your musical style?
A: “ I am a product of pop culture, and a fan of all music.”
Q: “Let me rephrase, what is in your top play lists right now.”
A: “ Let me think, umm… Muse, Bjork, Tina Tuner, Bill Withers, Jeff Buckley, Jay Z, The Vines, John Mayer, Cyndi Lauper, M.I.A. love her…”

With such a variety of musical influences it is no wonder her music is so impressively unique, yet nostalgically familiar at the same time. Her songs are stories told with a soothing and bittersweet tongue. Her lyrics are curt and poetically to the point. When listening you can feel the colors and emotion jumping out of the stereo.

As a child Stephanie’s family experienced both personal and financial struggles. She grew up all over southern California and moved frequently sometimes once to twice a year. By the time she had reached her freshmen year she had attended 13 different schools. The constant change was hard on her to socially adjust but “ there was always music...” Steph says.” By the ninth grade she was already working full time and by her sophomore year she had moved out and was fully supporting herself. When asked to comment about her struggles as a young artist she said, “When things got really bad I just had to find that right song, go find a spot, and just let it talk to me. A good melody can heal anything. I started writing for that reason.”

At this point in the young stars life she realized if she really wanted to birth a song from beginning to end she would have to not only write, but also learn to engineer and produce all of her work from start to finish. Every spare cent went towards gear, every spare second she was in front of a counsel, soaking in any information she could.

After co-producing her first album she is currently being courted by five major record labels. When asked about this experience Steph said:

“ Before the first meet I was a mess! I didn’t know what to expect. My team said things like, sing this sing that, don’t say this don’t say that. Finally during the first meet I realized how normal the execs are and not like the cold shoulder guys I was imagining. The first interview I did Black Star by Radiohead. During the meet my guys kept texting each other messages to get me to tame it down a bit. It was hilarious. But the man completely got my vibe.” -Translation: They loved the sweet loud crazy little thing that strutted into their office. She went on to say she was surprised that the first thing they had her do was sing “…it was like sing monkey sing…ha-ha” she giggled. In the last of the meetings just for fun, she shocked label execs and her longtime manager Rene Pereda, by singing acapella “Bohemian Rhapsody.” “My guys thought I was joking when I said I was gonna do that song”.

Now this twenty-year-old entertainer half a decade of professionally being a part of this industry behind her, has enough music to fill 5 albums. Her debut CD is a true testament of her resilience as a young woman. Her imaginative spirit is evident in every song, as the entire project was the brainchild of this young artist right down to the album’s artwork. Every sound reflects Stephanie’s thoughts on life, love, and being on her own. Every track is so unique, and shows a different side of her, from the sweet and soothing sounds of a young girl searching for a place to call home in Heart a Little Closer, to the bitter-tongued, angry lyrics heard in Hard Times.

Stephanie Tiangco’s long anticipated album is set for a early 2008 release to be followed by a video release by early winter. Look out for this fresh new face in local live venues near you as the gear up for the albums national promotional tour. She is truly an artist to be seen and heard.
