Stephanie McKay is a singer, songwriter and master performer & is one of the most in-demand voices on the scene today. Hailing from the Bronx NYC, her list of credits is long and impressive and reads like a "who's who" of the hip-hop/soul scene. Formerly a guitarist for Kelis, she has recorded two albums with the Brooklyn Funk Essentials, collaborated with Talib Kweli and Mos Def, featured on the standout hit Forget Regret from Roy Hargroves Grammy-nominated RH Factor (alongside such luminaries as DAngelo, Anthony Hamilton, Erykah Badu, Karl Denson, Pino Palladino, and Common) and completed a world tour with Amp Fiddler from the legendary Parliament Funkadelic..
Aside from her many collaborations, it is on her impressive solo material that Stephanie's star shines brightest. Her debut solo album 'McKay' produced by Portisheads Geoff Barrow, was released in Europe on Polydor/Universal and garnered major critical acclaim. In the UK, 'The Independent' called the album " the best debut since Macy Gray" and 'Black Beat' referred to McKay as " the savior we need to drag rhythm back to its roots." Two singles and two videos were released from the album and received heavy rotation on the radio and MTV Europe.
Equally at home on the stage or in the studio, Stephanie has performed extensively in the New York area, completed two national tours in Australia and maintained an unprecedented seven-night stand in Greece. She's one of the hardest working performers on the scene today so keep your ear to the ground for shows in your area, her live performances are not to be missed!!
Always developing as an artist & constantly looking forward, this summer will see the release of her highly anticipated 2nd album 'Tell It Like It Is'. The wheels on the music media 'hype machine' are already well in motion worldwide, and if her debut was anything to go by this could be the musical event of summer 2008!
Make no mistake, Stephanie McKay is the real deal....
And shes only just getting started !!!
