You might have already heard Katy Stephan’s solo voice.

She can be heard on the title theme to the ABC sitcom Hot Properties,
the opening and closing credits to the Warner Bros. film Catwoman
and throughout DreamWorks' Time Machine and the Sci Fi Channel miniseries EarthSea
as well as in other films and TV advertising.

During her years with the Pacific Mozart Ensemble, Katy was a soloist
on the Grammy-nominated Mass with the Deutsche Philharmonie under conductor Kent Nagano,
and performed in the Meredith Monk 40th anniversary concert at Carnegie Hall.
Katy has also been a soloist with the Oakland East Bay Symphony under Michael Morgan.

Katy has performed in Germany, France, Italy, Brazil, Japan,
Cyprus, the U.K. and the U.S. with various groups & projects.

She has been a singing salad for Dole, a backup singer for an Elvis impersonator,
and the chirpy voice of more than one children's toy.

Katy has created original music for several live theatre productions
in association with Upon These Boards,
including Word For Word's Three Blooms (Magic Theatre), Lysistrata Project (Berkeley Rep),
Bury The Dead (Cooper Union, New York City) and The Inkwell Communiques.
She won a Bay Area Critics Circle Award in 2005
for her role as Luisa in The Fantasticks at San Francisco Playhouse.

After a decade of making music for a living,
Katy crept off into a room alone with a piano to create her own songs:

music that is completely original
music made entirely by hand
music made purely for love.

"beautifully crafted sonic valentines
made from scraps of Chopin nocturnes, Puccini arias, vintage glass glitter,
angels prayers, musical jewelry boxes,
and a bloody beating heart."

The result is a full length album of original songs,
called Saints of the Lost Cause Saloon.

Early sketches of some of the songs from the album can be heard on every7days.com,
where Katy posted a new song once every week from march - december 2006.
