Just wanted to say sorry for not being on here lately! All my updates are on my website and myspace! Here is an update about my CD:  My CD SIDES! As of now Ms. Yanez has released her first ever solo DOUBLE EP titled "SIDES", which has 10 BRAND NEW SONGS inspired by ANIME, JAPAN, LOVE, and LIFE! The official CD "SIDES" showcases two different styles of music that has made Ms. Yanez who she is today! Stephanie feels that everyone has two different sides, sometimes three or four. Example: the mother, the woman, the wife, the teacher, etc. Each one of us has many different roles that we have to live up to. And some people may never see a certain side that you may have. As MS.Yanez has been traveling more and more to different anime conventions a very happy bubbly pop side was shown through her music and personality. Because music is her true happiness which brings out her very happy, goofy, outgoing side. But she also wanted to convey her other side which is very complex and serious, and felt rock music was the sound to showcase that.The first SIDE has a JPOP ANIME ELECTRONICA sound with lyrics written in both Japanese and English. The second SIDE has a more POP ROCK sound with lyrics also written in Japanese and English. Produced by CHRISTOPHER BRIGHT and RORY CARRUTHERS. Lyrics and melody by STEPHANIE YANEZ. Translation touchups done by MELANIE ARAYAMA. Photo & CD layout done by MINH SOI. CD art done by OLLA BOKU. The OFFICIAL CD "SIDES" is available NOW on STEPHANIEYANEZ.COM. And soon on itunes, amazon, etc. I will try to get on here more. Stephanie STEPHANIEYANEZ.COM

 Stephanie Yanez and DJ Jinnai to perform live at Anime Expo's Summer Festival June 30th at 8PM! So far, the Summer Festival is located behind the exhibit hall and the arena, outside the building. Please check Anime Expo's web site for more info. http://www.anime-expo.org/ BIO OF DJ JINNAI: Jinnai has the ability to take an Anime song and transform it into a bangin' dance track that you would roll down your car window and blast. DJing for 7 years and producing music for over a decade, DJ Jinnai interprets J-pop from a western music perspective without losing the sugar that makes J-pop pop. His remixes are a heavy handed blend of J-pop, Hip Hop, Hardcore, Drum & Bass, video game music, Electronica and 80s synth. DJing for years at Anime conventions such as Fanime Con, Anime Overdose, Oni-Con and Anime Vegas and spinning sets on popular internet radio stations like Keiichi.net, Jinnai has built a loyal fan following while making a name for himself as a pioneer remixer. A chance meeting with Kristine Sa and Nemesis Records CEO Kingmin at 2003's Fanime convention in Santa Clara dramatically changed the course of Jinnai's career. The DJ was only interested in remixing Kristine Sa for fun, but when the label heard his CD, he was offered a full contract as an artist, remixer and producer. Jinnai has since remixed many Kristine Sa songs - 3 of which will appear on her album "reBIRTH" . He also remixed in a number of Japanese pop projects such as Animetoonz 3. BIO OF STEPHANIE YANEZ: Discovering music at the age of 5, Stephanie Yanez was born to sing. Her love for music eventually led her to record four songs on Geneon’s Anime Karaoke Collection with three of those songs recorded with I’VE, a Japan-based record label. This CD also includes the winning song that she performed at Anime Expo’s AX Idol 2004 “Ningyo Hime†from the top anime series Chobits! You can purchase Anime Karaoke Collection at all major record stores (Sun Coast, Fry's, Kinokuniya ,etc). Stephanie has also worked with the popular anime company Broccoli. She was involved with the voice acting/singing group DUP USA (Di Gi Charat) as the character Rabi En Rose. Now she is working on the Collaboration SLY. SLY is a unique blend of hard rock, captivating melodies, and wailing guitar solos offering an enchanting, new, and powerful sound. Experience SLY live and be engulfed in a gripping energetic performance. Formed in June 2006, SLY is a music collaboration of Singer/Songwriter Stephanie Yanez and Instrumentalist/Songwriter Full Metal Ninja.You can purchase all of SLY's original music in Japanese and English on their myspace: WWW.MYSPACE.COM/FULLMETALSLY Yanez’s powerful and unique voice demands attention at live performances. Her accessible pop melodies are well balanced with edgy, alternative flavors and vocal distortions. Lyrically, she connects with audiences with clear, heartfelt messages that are well blended with metaphoric environments that paint intricate pictures of the joys and pains of life. Her unique voice has steadily gained fans of anime and music alike. This is only the beginning! I also wanted to make an announcement that the Para Para group Angel Hearts will be making an appearance at my show at the summer festival!
