Born in South London to Colombian musician parents – her father an accordionist, her mother a singer – cumbia and salsa filled Stephanie’s childhood. But like anyone, she needed to find her own way, to discover London’s multifarious subcultures, to get lost in the energies of youth music. Her early work reflects this, with forays into soul, jazz, reggaeton, even punk, opportunities to experiment but also refine an inherent talent for songwriting and an ability to inhabit songs with her voice.

Glimpses of Latin music have emerged in her music before – it would be impossible for them not to – but her latest series of releases alongside her regular collaborator Colombian producer Andres Pascua reveal a new chapter in her career in which her heritage and search for identity are brought to the fore.

Her most recent songs are part of a series of releases that sees her explore her Latin American heritage, revealing a new sound informed by life in London and Latin American lineage. The track ‘Alma Carnavalera’ has reached almost 500k + streams on Spotify along with its companion piece ‘Activa Tu Cuerpo’ both of which take their cue from Colombia inspired by Cumbia and Bullerengue. The next upcoming tracks embrace her and Andres’ common love for Brazilian music with a mix of Bossa and Afro-Brazilian grooves eschewing the synth / electronic sounds and programmed drums for a more acoustic and percussive sound.

In her live show all the rich Latin American and London influences merge for a mix of sultry RnB, Soul and percussive rhythms to move your body.
