her story - written by Michelle Mayreis-Lucas 2014

At a very early age, singer and songwriter Stevie Lynne Saunders was surrounded by music. As she grew up, she began to find different outlets for her natural abilities, channeling her expression into lyric and song. All of her music is original, written and derived from either her own personal experiences in love and life, to the experiences of those closest to her. With a sound all her own, Stevie encapsulates the folk/rock essences of legendary greats such as Stevie Nicks and Joni Mitchell, adding a soulful and sensitive inflection on vocals, reminiscent of powerhouses such as Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone. Her musical influences include multi-dimensional artists like John Mayer, Christina Perri, Yanni, and Adele, just to name a few. Likewise, her contemporary musical influences include a diverse list of artists, as well: Norah Jones, A Fine Frenzy, Sara Bareilles, Maroon 5, Ingrid Michaelson, Michael Buble and so many more. Her personal musical style can be summed up in a few, brief adjectives: emotive, soulful, quiet, moving and haunting. With a deeply spiritual nature and described by her family and friends as an 'old soul', Stevie has always possessed the desire to help others realize that they are not alone, no matter their past, where they find themselves in the present, and where their future may lead them. So sit back, relax, and allow yourself to get lost in this unique musician: Stevie Lynne. Let her lyrics and music take you on a journey of self-discovery, and ultimately, a destination of peace, harmony and love.
