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. During that first year Schneiderman won the grand prize in The Lilith Fair competition and released her self-titled acoustic debut to ecstatic reviews. The album remained on the Top Selling Northwest Bands Chart for over a year. She showcased at NACA and toured throughout Wyoming, Montana, Alaska, Idaho, Washington, Utah, and Oregon. By the end or 2000 she was ready to go into the studio to record "Unbelievably Unbroken." CURRENT STORY In 1999 Stephanie Schneiderman 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 received full-length albums and has developed a riveting band presentation that continues to evolve and bring her national attention. Schneiderman's 2001 release, "Unbelievably Unbroken," drew major label attention for her versatility and chameleon-like voice (with comparisons ranging Sheryl Crow, 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," and was the title track for the movie "Kat and Allison." Since then Schneiderman has released a 7-song EP and is set to release a brand new record, entitled Touch Down. Read more on Last.fm.
