[PRESS] Steph, The Sapphic Songstress Featured On R.E.D. SOUL VIBRATIONS Blog

Steph, The Sapphic Songstress — Mon, 21 May 2012 13:46:08 +0000

I love it when I get some good news as a result of my hard labor, and positive press is always great! Just this weekend, Harlem native and independent artist lover DJ CONSCIENCE wrote a blog featuring The SapphicSoul EP. I’m glad he loves it, and if you haven’t heard it yet, take a listen and you will, too.

Click on the photo above to view R.E.D. SOUL VIBRATIONS’ blog featuring me, or go to http://www.redsoulvibrations.com/2012/05/introducing-steph-sapphic-songstress.html to view it.

Also, check out the debut of The R.E.D. SOUL VIBRATIONS MIXSHOW on World Vibe Radio One this Thursday May 24, 2012 from 7-9pm EST. Go to www.wvrvibe.com to tune in.

UPDATE ON FUNDRAISER:

I know it doesn’t necessarily reflect on the IndieGoGo website because I did receive many donations in hand, but I managed to raise over $1,000 in donation money so far and that is a big deal to me! For those that have donated your funds, thank you so very much for your support thus far! For those who would still like to support my campaign, I am still taking donations until Sunday June 3, 2012 via PayPal. All you have to do is click on the link below and make a donation of any amount. And don’t worry, you’ll still receive the perks mentioned on the video.

So please, if you have it, make a donation today.

[PRODUCT] SapphicSoul T-Shirt Designs Revealed & Available First Via IndieGoGo Campaign

Steph, The Sapphic Songstress — Thu, 03 May 2012 12:54:39 +0000

I did say that I was going to send SapphicSoul t-shirts as an incentive for donating to my SapphicSoul EP IndieGoGo Campaign (with donations $30 and up), and I thank those folks for donating before they even saw what the final product was going to look like, but those are my fans who know that I’m not going to deliver a crappy product to them – I truly appreciate your support. Well, wait no further…the final design is here!

You have your choice of a men’s shirt or a women’s shirt design in either white or purple. The men’s white shirts will be available in regular or organic fabric, and the men and women’s purple design will be made by American Apparel. All shirts will be pressed up through SpreadShirt.

For now, these shirts will be available exclusively through my IndieGoGo campaign (the deadline to donate is May 14, 2012). I will announce a date to purchase them alone at my store (coming soon) or at one of my shows at a later time.

Be one of the first to cop your t-shirt (autographed, by the way, unless by request you don’t want that). Take advantage today and make your donation! http://indiegogo.com/sapphicsoulepcd

ALSO: My debut album The SapphicSoul EP is still available digitally on Bandcamp for $7: http://sapphicsteph.bandcamp.com

[VIDEO] Recap Of Bop Alloy Performance At Columbia College – 4.19.12 (Chicago, IL)

Steph, The Sapphic Songstress — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:00:45 +0000

Last Wednesday I took my first trip to Chicago, IL, and even though I only stayed for 2 days (restrictions involving my day job made me leave early), I couldn’t have asked for a better trip. The folks at WILDHARE that promoted the show were awesome hosts! Shouts to Elgin Bokari (Kari The Illustrator), Jack Thomas Gibson, and Maurice Meaway for inviting me and showing me such a wonderful time. Also shouts to Elie who – along with Elgin – made some of the BEST ribs I have EVER TASTED! Who knew??? Lol. Also, another shout to Ms. Sandra Bempah for having me in her wonderful home and helping me get my hair done for the show.

Here are a few clips from the 4/19 Bop Alloy, InAniMate, and my performance at the Conaway Center at Columbia College in Chicago, courtesy of Jovan Landry. You can also watch another clip of the show here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=582744254502. More clips and photos are on the way (I still haven’t had the chance to go through my own footage yet), so stay tuned – this is only the start of this post.

ALSO, DON’T FORGET!!!

My SapphicSoul EP IndieGoGo Campaign is still happening! Make your donation today! DEADLINE IS MAY 14, 2012!

Short Summary

For those that don’t know me, my name is Stephanie Hilliard, but I’m more widely known as Steph, The Sapphic Songstress. I have worked with artists such as Substantial and Marcus D (Bop Alloy), Tonedeff, PackFM, Mr. SOS,Toby (formerly of Inverse), Cashmere The Professional, and many other notable acts. On April 3, 2012, I released my debut album The SapphicSoul EP, which was a momentous occasion for me. Though it felt great to finally release this long-awaited album, I did so with a limited budget, and I was unable to save enough money to have physical copies made or have my music placed on major sites such as iTunes, AmazonMP3, and many others. Many fans expressed interest in helping me raise funds to get the physical copies made and more, so I’m asking for that help now.

What We Need & What You Get

Here is what I need from you:

With your help, I need to raise $1,500 so I can press the digipak CDs (300 to 500 copies), get t-shirts, stickers, and posters made for you. The money will also go to expenses pertaining to postage and delivery of your incentives. Also, the money will help me get lifetime memberships to iTunes, CD Baby, and many other music sites.
I will have incentives such as autographed official SapphicSoul EP digipak CDs, stickers, posters, t-shirts, personal Skype or Oovoo calls, and all-access passes for you if you donate.
If I do not reach my goal, the funds will still go to pressing physical copies of my debut album, and you will still receive your gifts.

Here is what you get:

Donate $1 – a “Thank You” on Twitter and Facebook.
Donate $10 – a “Thank You”, plus a personalized autographed official digipak copy of The SapphicSoul EP.
Donate $20 – all of the above, plus an autographed poster with sticker.
Donate $30 - all of the above, plus an autographed t-shirt.
Donate $50 - all of the above, plus a personal Skpye or Oovoo call from me.
Donate $100 - all of the above, plus a personal Skpye or Oovoo call from me with a personal “Thank You” song performed by me.
Donate $500 - all of the above, plus an all-access pass to one of my shows within the continental U.S., dinner with me after the show, and a photo taken with me to mark the event.

The Impact

This album is my first child, and it is a good child. Helping to spread the word about my album would mean the world to me. Help me by spreading good, positive music to the masses…and it’ll only grown from there. Click here to make your donation today! http://igg.me/p/94184?a=547291
