Stephanie K’s Online Diary

Times, they are a-changing….

Welcome to the website!  If you’ll notice, it is not new…but it IS improved!

On the left column of the homepage, you will now find a music player.  This way, you can listen to my songs while reading my posts in which I pointlessly babble.

Further down the left column, you will find a YouTube video of my performance at the Whisky a Go-Go from the voting event for the 21st Annual Los Angeles Music Awards. A few weeks after my band and I rocked out a 4-song set, I was awarded “Hot A/C Artist of the Year”.

And even further down the left column is the playlist for the #OneMinuteSong project. You know the drill:  everyday, people suggest topics on my facebook, twitter and youtube…I pick my favorite…then I record a #OneMinuteSong about that topic. Everyday, the new video will be available for viewing right there on the bottom of the left column of this homepage. Of course, you can always seek through the playlist to listen to earlier videos from the project. And if your eyesight is bad (Mom…listen carefully), you can always expand the video to make it full-screen as  you watch.

Also, if you visit the Music page, you will see that we’ve added a new and improved player. You can listen to a song, while viewing NEW pics (yep…brand new) and other fun goodies.  There is even an area where you can enter your email address to join my mailing list or join my street team to help with promotions. If you ever have trouble viewing the player, you can always visit my ReverbNation page. Scroll down a bit, and you can hear all of the songs.  And of course, if you have a ReverbNation account, don’t forget to click “Become a Fan”!  Also, don’t forget that “Story of a Broken Heart” and “Famewhore” are both available for digital purchase on iTunes and other music retail websites!

I hope you like the changes to the website.  My wish is that they make your Stephanie K web experience more enjoyable. Just wait till you meet me in person. I’m a ball of fun wrapped in a box of trouble with a bow made of chaos, honesty and vodka.

2012…The World is ENDING Soon!

Happy New Year, everyone! Don’t slack on the resolutions. We only have till December 21st till the world ends! Make this year count!

I’m happy to report that I am currently scheduling some important performances for the spring. The #OneMinuteSong project is still going strong (I’m at #131!). And I’m excited to get singles out on the airwaves in the coming months. Meanwhile, I’m always writing and recording new music.

If the Mayans are correct, and the world really is going to end on December 21st, I need to scratch some things off my bucked list ASAP. I’ve got less than a year to get a song to chart in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, get nominated for a Grammy, see the Pistons play in all 30 NBA Arenas (though they both play at Staples Center, Clippers & Lakers games must be counted separately), visit Hawaii, do a European cruise, and marry James Franco.

It’s on.

All I Want for Christmas…

The NBA regular season starts in less than 48 hours (…finally!). Among other games on Christmas Day, we get to watch a rematch of the NBA Finals: Heat vs Mavericks. That’s right…we get to christen the new NBA season by seeing the egomaniac himself…LEBRON JAMES! To honor this, today’s #OneMinuteSong (#114) is: “All I Want for Christmas is a LeBron James Loss”.

A major shoutout goes to hoopshype.com for posting a link to today’s #OneMinuteSong on their twitter. Love your site. Keep up the good work.

Enjoy the Holidays and the new NBA season!

It’s BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! & So Am I!

NBA fans suffered through months of a seemingly never-ending lockout, but now, we have basketball back.  Tonight marks the first Detroit Pistons game since last April. I feel like an addict getting back on the wagon! Or would that be off the wagon? WHO KNOWS! All I know is, being a basketball fanatic is healthier than heroin!

The cherry on top? I’m singing the anthem tonight. 7:30 pm tip-off at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Oh, happy day!

I’m Ready for my Close Up…

Below, please enjoy one of my interviews from the red carpet at the 21st Annual Los Angeles Music Awards, where I received the award for “Hot A/C Artist of the Year”…

GOBBLE, GOBBLE.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Below, you’ll find today’s #OneMinuteSong (#85): “The Thanksgiving Day Turkey Coma” …please enjoy!
Have a great day with your family and friends…DON’T GET FAT. Just say no to second helpings! Just kidding…

…not really…

…but kinda… :)

Short But Sweet!

Short but sweet write up about my performance at the Whisky a Go-Go  in LA’s Examiner –> check it out!

I’m Hot and Contemporary…

Last week I attended the 21st Annual Los Angeles Music Awards at the Avalon in Hollywood and won the award for Hot AC (Adult Contemporary) Artist of the Year!  I’m very honored and humbled. The math wiz in me did a few calculations and, based on the number of submissions, nominees and winners, my chance of winning an award at this year’s event was 1/5 of 1%! Not bad, not bad…here’s a pic of me before I headed to the red carpet.  I will post more red carpet pics soon.

The Lockout RAGESSSSSSSSSSS On….

I was featured in an article on The NBA Lockout in today’s Detroit Free Press.  Check it out!  Don’t make fun of me because I used to cry after Pistons’ losses. Nowadays, I have no wins to be happy about AND no losses to cry over. END THE LOCKOUT!

The NBA Lockout sucks…but Dime Magazine ROCKS!

Fans around the globe are fiending for some basketball.  Personally, I feel like a heroin addict going through withdrawals. This time of year, I’d usually be attending Pistons preseason games, getting hyped for the regular season, and SINGING THE ANTHEM AT GAMES! Instead, I’m stuck at home at night, watching reruns of dunk contests on NBA TV, wondering if there will be a season at all.

Yesterday’s #OneMinuteSong (#47) was focused on the NBA Lockout.  It is a humorous, sarcastic take on the lockout and the things hardcore fans miss about the NBA.  The lockout definitely sucks, but Dime magazine ROCKS. This morning, the hugely popular magazine featured “The NBA Lockout” song on their homepage.  Check out the permalink to the story!

END THE LOCKOUT!
