Biography: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 at PARAMOUNT STUDIOS on Geneon's Anime Karaoke Collection with three of those songs recorded with overseas Japan-based record label I'VE, known for their singer Kotoko. This CD also includes the song that she won 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).

Just wanted to point out the when MS.Yanez won AX IDOL the prize was 100 JPOP CDS! It wasn't until a couple days after the competition that she was approached by Geneon to work on the CD!

And since her debut at ANIME EXPO 2005, she has been seen across the country, performing at many different Japanese Events, Anime Conventions, and Music Venues. She even went to Japan to have a live performance in HARAJUKU! She has opened up for overseas Japanese artists YOUSEI TEIKOKU and shared the same stage with KOTOKO. And has now opened up for Major Record Label Artist NIKKA COSTA at The COACH HOUSE in San Juan Capistrano!

MS.Yanez has been working hard on her first ever solo DOUBLE EP which will have 10 BRAND NEW SONGS which will be released in June/July 08!

Also just recently Stephanie was involved with ANIME SELECTS as a TOKYO REPORTER! She worked in Japan for a week being filmed doing various assignments at various places. For example: She was dressed up as a GEISHA in Asakusa, took a NINJA CLASS, went in a Obake Yashiki (Haunted House) in Namja Town, and interviewed the Burlesque troupe the MURASAKI BABYDOLL. That was just a few things that she did while she was in Tokyo. Be sure to check out Stephanie's awesome crazy adventure that will be seen on ANIME SELECTS.
