An unforgettable singer and performer whose soulful voice will linger on, long after
you have been entranced and entertained . . .

Singer, guitarist, songwriter, Stefani Valadez offers a rich repertoire of soulful
romantic, enchanting melodies, including songs from many lands. A third
generation musician, Stefani has an international following of fans who have
thrilled to her deep, haunting voice and the wide range of musical and ethnic
lore she incorporates in her performances.

Stefani first learned to play guitar and discovered the beauty of harmony from
her mother, a singer and pianist, and from Pete Seeger and the Greenwich
Village blues locals. She traces her musical inspiration to diverse musicians,
includingTaj Mahal, Grace Slick, and Antonio Jobim. Her later interest
in Celtic and international folk music led her to her first CD of World Music,
"Other Voices".

Her latest CD is “Ladino Alive,” a collection of songs from the Sephardic cultures
of the Mediterranean, which Stefani researched while living in Spain. They speak
of a time of peace and a flowering of civilization when the cultures of the three
great religions coexisted peacefully together for 700 years.

Stefani’s arrangements bring these ancient melodies, prayers and love songs
into the present with sensual vocals, soulful ethnic drums and delicious harmonies.
The LA musicians on this CD have played with the legends of the music world
and add layers of rich colors to an already deep and moving palette of music.

A compelling performer and arranger, she is also a sought-after studio producer.
Stefani plays guitar, dulcimer and percussion.
