Further more is Stefanie part of the Aeolus Vocal Trio, which explores real-time compositions through the approach of Musicality of Movement.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in music education. The freedom of jazz improvisation, the performance skills of a pop artist, the discipline of classical singing, and the entrepreneurial expertise of a music teacher combine to make her a limitless singer with a clear artistic vision.
