I AM a Positive Music Performing Artist & Singer/Songwriter. What this means is all of my music is created with positive intention - that is - great songs that inspire in you a sense of... hope, love, purpose, self empowerment and inner strength. My musical influences are broad and include many crossover pop, r&b, gospel, world, soul based recording artists and songwriters. "COME AS YOU ARE" IS a fabulous pop/neo-soul/r&b crossover CD with multicultural flavoring, mixed tempos, memorable hooks and features an outstanding lineup of guest artists both adult & youth. This CD was co-produced with acclaimed Grammy nominated, Emmy Award winning music producer 'Chris Julian' who has worked with many of the music industry's top recording artists, including: (Queen Latifah, David Bowie, Chaka Khan, Isaac Hayes). WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE.. "music has the power to reach people like none other.. it can build us up or break us down.. people respond in kind to what they see and hear over and over again, be it positive or negative.. unfortunately, "beauty", "positive", "build you up", aren't messages as well represented in much of today's mainstream music.. however, contrary to the current trend, it is my vision and determination to help change that.. so that the 'positive music' of myself and other artists alike will one day be the greater representation, bringing forth an even greater representation of our own beauty that lies within". WHAT I KNOW IS - whoever you are.. wherever you are.. you do make a difference in your own unique way! So.. very best to you, enjoy my music, be inspired & pass it on... Stefana
