I am fascinated by the infinite expressive possibilities of the human voice.”

Stefanie Janssen is a vocalist, performer and songwriter with roots in classical, opera, indie folk and experimental pop. Also, she loves to partake in projects on improvisation. On stage she bares her soul in poetic lyrics – in both Dutch and English – and gives voice to the ideas and emotions that sing within her, emerging in mixed forms, styles and sounds.

Various bands and projects were initiated by Stefanie herself.
STÄSJ is one of them; an indie electro-pop act that takes you on a true journey exploring, observing and expanding the human spirit. One moment mysteriously hypnotic, the next moment raw and direct.
