STEFY
Biographyby Heather PharesHalf rock, half electronic pop, Stefy feature keyboardist Jason Gaviati, guitarist Sean Meyer, drummer Andreas Brobjer, and vocalist Stefy Rae. Before hooking up with Rae and forming Stefy, Gaviati performed with other groups and as a part of Samantha Ronson's live band; Meyer played occasional gigs while he studied at the Musicians Institute; and Brobjer was a drummer for hire. Inspired by the likes of Pink, Blondie, and No Doubt, Stefy crafted an accessible but slightly edgy sound that was apparent on their first single, "Chelsea," which appeared on the John Tucker Must Die soundtrack. The band's full-length debut, The Orange Album, arrived soon after on Wind-Up in late summer 2006.
