Schneiderman's entertainment career began in high school where she merged an interest in singing and theater, which included lead roles in musicals and plays, as well as mastering piano, guitar and french horn. By age 18 she was fronting a cover band and went on to perform with Body and Soul, the region's top Motown/old school funk act. Despite performing for crowds of up to 15,000, Schneiderman was dreaming about starting a solo career and in 1999 left to become a full-time singer/songwriter.
In 1999 she began her solo career by beating out hundreds of aspiring singer/songwriters to win a slot on Lilith Fair. Since then, the Portland, Oregon native has released two critically acclaimed full-length albums which have remained on the Top-Selling Northwest Band Chart for over a year. She has developed a riveting band presentation that continues to evolve and bring her national attention.
Scneiderman's 2001 release, "Unbelievably Broken," drew major label attention for her versatility and chameleon-like voice (with comparisions ranging from Sheryl, to Jeff Buckley to Patti Griffin). The first single, "New Skin Completed," was in regular rotation on KINK (Portland's leading triple-A station) and was featured on the WB's prime-time show "Jack & Jill." The song was also the title track for the movie "Kate and Allison." Since then, Schneiderman has released a 7-song EP and a brand-new record entitled, "Touch Down."
In the words of Adam Zacks of L.A.'s famous House of Blues, "Schneiderman's exceptional songwriting talent and radiating charm are a winning combination. Her honest, earthy presence and rich, serene vocals seperate Stephanie from the hordes of 'girls with guitars.' She shows all the potential of becoming a world-class, world-renowned artist."
