The honest lyrics and passionate vocals of Stephanie (Pilypaitis) Day set her apart as an up-and-coming singer/songwriter in today's music scene. She gives an enchanting, yet down-to-earth performance every time she steps on stage, leaving her audience refreshed and uplifted. Stephanie's lyrics are inspired by people, love, taking risks and following dreams.
She tries to steer away from cheesy lyrics and just share what she's going through, what she's questioning or what she's hoping for. Something she loves most about music is the way it connects people from all different backgrounds and opinions. "Everyone has been hurt, everyone has a dream, and everyone has questions. What I want most is for my music to bring hope and inspiration to everyone that listens."
Stephanie has enjoyed singing since she was young, but when she discovered the guitar around age 14, she started writing her own songs. After establishing herself as a well-known Omaha artist and recording her first EP, Stephanie relocated to Nashville to broaden her pursuit of writing and performing, including most recently a lot of co-writing to continually challenge and strengthen her writing.
She attributes the success in her hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, to the people who have consistently believed in her... and kindly nudged her out of Omaha to the next step.
With musical inspiration from artists like Sheryl Crow and Jewel, Stephanie has a folk/rock/pop sound that captures the attention of people with many different musical likings.
Stephanie is continually looking for more opportunities to write and perform, because its what makes her feel most alive.
"There are stories I feel compelled to tell, and the best way I know how to do that is through music."
