Stephanie Williams
Born and raised in small towns south of Dallas, Texas, Stephanie was involved in just about everything musical the city and local school system could offer, following the interests of both her singing, actor parents. She began to stand as a performer in high school where she won numerous songwriting and choir awards, and performed in musicals and plays. She joined her first band at sixteen, and became a local music enthusiast of the music scene in the South West. At the age of eighteen, she moved to sunny California to complete her education and received a B.M. in Music Performance with Vocal Emphasis at Chapman University, studying under opera diva Carol Neblett.
Stephanie has performed on the opera stage in roles such as Cherbino in Le Nozze di Figaro and frequents the stage of the Los Angeles based opera companies such as The Industry and Pacific Opera Project. She also has performed with several jazz ensembles, including featuring with the Ryan Cross Trio at the historic Biltmore Hotel and has played in a couple rock bands in the Silverlake area. In 2016, she accepted the position of Music Director at Christ Church, Los Angeles and currently band-leads and sings every Sunday. You will occasionally find her at a gallery art opening or fundraiser singing out her own songs from behind an electric blue guitar and can find her latest music recordings on Spotify under Childlike Empress.
Teaching voice combines two of her greatest loves on the planet: people and music. It continues to be a blessing and gift beyond comprehension.
