Steffanie Renae, an 11 year old friend of daughter's, is an extremely talented singer. This week she represented Florida in the North American Country Music Awards International competition in Pigeon Forge Tennessee, near Gatlinburg.
Just to represent Florida, she already had to win a series of competitions at county fairs. At the 2008 NACMAI, out of about 500 finalsts in the 12 and under category, she came in first. Steffanie won both female Vocalist of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year.
It's hard to believe, when you hear her, that she is only 11 years old. If you go to her website, you can hear six of her songs that are posted on a rotating basis. You will be able to say that you heard Steffanie Renae, before she became a famous national recording artist. Check out the website, and brighten your day. She sings everybody from Patsy Cline to Martina McBride. (Independence Day was won of her competition songs on Friday.) She even sings classics like "Cowboy Sweetheart," complete with perfect-pitch octave shifting yodeling. Go ahead, visit her website, and you will be able to say, "I knew her when..."
Steffanie Renae is going to be a star, and she is one of the nicest and sweetest girls you will ever know.
See pictures and hear her music here.
She’s great! Thanks.
I’ll be damn.
Congragulations all round!
She won’t be in Florida much longer. She’s going to be in Nashville soon, I’m guessing.
She’s really on her way.
Awesome!
Just awesome!
This one deserves a big one. :^)
It’s funny that PF is four times the size of Gatlinburg but the reference remains. Congrats to your FRiend! :^)
Wow! How exciting! She is very, very good. Thanks for the link.
Nah, that just doesn't work!
I listened to all her songs on her website. She is very good!
What an amazing young girl. She has a beautiful voice!! I’ll be waiting to hear great things from her in the near future. :o)
so , Travis , ... I hope they’ll help her stay “a kid” for as long as can be
my daughter ( 11 , or so , *snicker* ) , .. is in The Performing Arts , and enjoys much of what it brings
Travis ,.. make sure that you take Steffanie to some MLBaseball games , .. the “lull in the action” makes for spontaneous utterances from the youngster to the adult , ... and , if yer listening , .. maybe we really find out what’s happening in their Life , .. but , its a crapshoot ,, LOL!
Bump.
A little drop of sunshine would register thousands of degrees Fahrenheit and likely destroy by fire everything it touched...not to mention the possible radioactivity.
Cute girl with a big voice. Yep, she has a future.
The most amazing thing is, she’s such a nice, sweet kid.
She was just blessed by the almighty with an amazing set of pipes, and the burning desire since age 3 to sing.
