About

Stephanie Ault, 25, is a singer and a songwriter who pairs acoustic piano with her passionate vocals and emotional ballads. Her sound can be compared to artists such as Cat Power, Feist and Sinead O’ Connor. She has been writing music for nineteen years and recording her own original songs for the past nine years. In 2008 she released her first official record, “Heart in Hand” and launched her own label, Ruach Records. She is a self-taught musician who plays the piano, violin and cello.

Stephanie spent most of her childhood growing up on the rocky plains of Colorado, but in 2005 decided to relocate to New York City. It was there that she studied to become an actress and attended the American Academy for Dramatic Arts. While in acting school, however, she found herself drawn more to writing music in between classes than to acting. She turned solely to the honesty and rawness of musicians such as Stevie Nicks, The Cranberries and Sarah McLachlan and aspired to resemble these female artists.

After graduating, she traveled through Europe and became inspired by the strong food and family culture. She acquired a growing obsession for understanding the process of how things were made, (bread and chocolate in particular) and when she returned to the States she landed jobs in both culinary fields. In the past five years Stephanie has worked as a baker, an organic farmer and as a chocolate maker. She is now a full-time musician and mother and resides in Brooklyn, New York with her son, Blaise.
