She has taken her passionate and contemplative music to a variety of venues in the USA, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Canada, and across the United Kingdom and Europe. Her long list of credits includes festivals, retreats, universities, schools (elementary, middle, and high schools), churches, conferences, campus ministries, multiple centers for disadvantaged youth/inner city ministries, military bases, and shelters for the homeless.
Staples has written and recorded nine full albums and an EP. In August of 2023, Stephanie released her 9th record, Streams, with producer Mitch Dane. Her song, Jesus Is was one of the top 50 CCM songs streamed across all digital platforms the week of its release and Letter to a Friend held the #9 spot on the CCM iTunes Chart in Finland and #13 on the mainstream iTunes chart in Finland.
Stephanie’s studio albums tell part of her story but it is in her live performances that she truly shines, captivating audiences and fostering a reflective and prayerful atmosphere as she pours the full depth of her life experiences into her music, not shying away from the reality of suffering and dark times but reflecting a light that persists through it all. Her songs are soothing, reflective, and hopeful and many have said that her humor and stories shared between songs have similar impact.
Stephanie and her husband Erik live in Franklin, TN with their two young daughters.
