Stephanie Berlanga is an accomplished singer, songwriter, and guitarist residing in Atlanta, GA. Uniting genres of pop, singer-songwriter, and folk, Stephanie’s soulful vocals, melodic guitar playing, and honest lyrics both intrigue and captivate listeners of all genres.
In 2011, she graduated from Full Sail University as Valedictorian with a Bachelors Degree in Music Business, and relocated to Nashville, Tennessee. It was there that she released her original music debut EP, “The Way Things Go”. That same year, she landed a top-3 spot in The American Songwriter Coffee House Tour Contest.
In 2016, Stephanie’s relationship with her alma mater came full circle after winning an Artist Development contest run by 3300+Climbing, Full Sail University’s student-run initiative who assisted Stephanie in further developing her career. Together, Berlanga and 3300+Climbing put together a visually impressive music video for her single, “Bandaid”, recorded three songs in studio for her upcoming EP, and created a website from the ground-up.
After spending years of writing about love and loss, Stephanie finally met a love she wouldn’t have to lose. She followed that love all the way to Georgia, where she now lives happily ever after. She continues to play music whenever and wherever she can and is excited for new opportunities that come her way!
Stephanie’s influences include John Mayer, Fleetwood Mac, Ed Sheeran, Ingrid Michaelson and Taylor Swift, and her original music is available on iTunes, Spotify & other digital stores.
