Barbara Stephan is Making a scene
Barbara recalls, “I started singing in church at five years old and performing in my dad’s band starting at 13. He played guitar. I always wanted to go into music, but I had a lot of (well-meaning) people in my life – adults, teachers, etc. – telling me a career in music was too difficult and I would never ‘make it’ and I should find something else to do. I listened for a while, but then just couldn’t stand it anymore. That’s when I started teaching voice, gigging, and writing my own songs along with film/TV music. I’ve always been able to pay my bills. There are so many creative ways to make a living in music, and I am so happy I finally gave in and followed my heart.”
