I have seriously had this song stuck in my head for the past couple of days now. But as usual, I'm quite alright with that.
Stephanie Smith is from Tulsa, OK, but moved to Pennsylvania at 6 months due to her parents splitting up. It wasn’t until she was 14 years old that she met her father, & “that was a train wreck. Through that low point that [she] realized music was something that really brought a lot of joy and [she] had a gift”. She went to Greenville College in IL (graduated 2006); & as some fun trivia, Stephanie met Toby McKeehan (aka tobyMac; owner of Gotee Records) while in college at the Agape Music Festival; after taking Toby’s own advice to not take the first offer deal to her, she declined his offer to be signed to Gotee when he called just a month later about a development deal. Yet, two years later, she was signed with Gotee working on her debut album, “Not Afraid”. It was released [digitally] May 27th, 2008. Some of her singles charted, & “Superstar” even got to #3 on the New & Active at CHR Radio. June 1st of the same year also saw the release of her book “Crossroads: The Teenage Girl’s Guide to Emotional Wounds”. She has since released two more EP’s: a self-titled one, released Nov. 17th, 2009; & “Celebrate the Day EP”, a Christmas EP released in 2010. This song is from her self-titled EP.
