Now here's a pretty face you won't find in a dress. Making her way into the heart of the city, this small town girl has started living in an uptown world, equipped with tattered converse and blue jeans.
At the age of 21, only one year after the release of her first EP "House With No Doors", Stephanie Bosch was invited to play the Edmonton Folk Music Festival (August 2009) along with such names as Kathleen Edwards, Steve Earle, Tracy Chapman and Sara McLachlin. During that time, Stephanie released her full length album, "Departures" and only a week later was #24 on the CKUA top 30 radio charts, as the youngest and only Alberta artist. Two weeks after that, she was at #9.
In February 2009 Stephanie was awarded a $10,000 grant from Rawlco Radio which helped pay for the production of "Departures". The CD was produced by Juno nominated Sandro Dominelli and "Canada's Guitar Hero" Bobby Cameron. Working together, the dynamic trio was successful in creating a sound so original, it can only be described as Stephanie Bosch. Sounds cliche, but it works. Comparing her music to someone else's is a hard thing to do.
Growing quickly, Stephanie has built up a solid career start and an amazing fan base. She was discovered in 2008 by Rhea March, founder of U22 Productions based out of Edmonton. Since Steph has joined the young performers group and has benefited greatly from the exposure.
So far her major shows have been in and around Edmonton, and have attracted people of all types. Playing to sold out crowds, she has built her reputation as a girl capable of high energy live shows with sarcastic banter in between songs.
After the release of her debut full length recording "Departures", Stephanie keeps moving forward. Recent performances include the World Skills Competition in Calgary, CBC National's Alberta Sessions Showcase and her official CD Release party in October 2009, which sold out all pre sale tickets only one week after going on sale.
Stephanie's "Lock Up Your Daughters" Tour in November 2009 proved successful. Venturing out West Steph gained some fans and caught the attention of some local press.
"She has a naturally infectious singing voice with a great knack for writing songs that allow her to easily connect to her audience" Robert Latham (Off the Dial Vancouver, BC)
Heading back to Vancouver in February 2010 for the Olympic Games, Stephanie was picked as one of the few singer/songwriters by Alberta Foundation for the Arts to showcase Alberta talent at the games. Shortly after, in March 2010 Steph will head out East to Toronto to showcase at Canadian Music Week.
It is undeniable that her music is new to anyone's ear. This spring Stephanie is planning on her 2010 Release of "Stupid Charlie" a 5 Song Ep which will be done in Edmonton and produced by Bobby Cameron. Working with well established local artists and friends, the EP's release is already anticipated.<.p>
In the world of music, it is the captivating uniqueness and individuality of an artist which makes them stand alone in a room full of talent and song. Stephanie Bosch stands alone in that room, and once you've had a taste of her style, you won't be able to get enough. |
