About |
Trying to pin down Stephanie Schneiderman to any one genre, talent or discipline is next to impossible. One thing is clear however- whether recording one of her 9 solo albums, playing drums for Swan Sovereign, acting, or giving back, Schneiderman is hands down one of the most diverse and hardest working artists the Pacific NW has to offer.
As singer-songwriter, her solo career began with a coveted spot in the Lilith Fair. From there, she went on to receive extensive NW radio play, tour internationally, and earn music placements in numerous films and primetime TV shows, including Felicity, Vampire Diaries and many more. She has played with some of the nation’s top touring acts- from Aimee Mann to Hall & Oates, Heart, and Train- and enjoyed ongoing success with popular NW all-female groups Dirty Martini and Swan Sovereign. She has stepped on stage in the musical The Full Monty, appeared in major television commercials and film, and even produced the soundtrack for 3 popular children's DVD's (Oy Baby and That Baby) which have sold more than 75,000 combined units.
Above all her accolades as an artist, Schneiderman has a keen passion for giving back. She organized Portland’s first humanitarian concert series, Voices for Silent Disasters, which raised $70,000 for Mercy Corps in Uganda, and is currently penning a musical that raises awareness about one of her passion points – human trafficking.
Schneiderman has nine solo recordings under her belt - Stephanie Schneiderman (1999), Unbelievably Unbroken (2001), Fall Sessions EP (2001), Touch Down (2004), Live at Kung Fu Bakery (2005), Dangerous Fruit (2008), Rubber Teardrop (2011), Live at The Old Church (2013) and Crossfire (2021) plus four releases with her collaborative bands Dirty Martini- Dirty Martini (2004), Tea and Revenge (2007) and Swan Sovereign - Arctic (2014) and Valentine (2017).
