Stephanie Gayle

Stephanie Gayle (formerly Steph the Sapphic Songstress) is a Singer/Songwriter/Producer/Fine Artist from P.G. County, Maryland. They began writing music at the tender age of 8, and began producing their own music at age 16. At 18, Stephanie decided to move to New York to get a degree in Fine Arts and simultaneously pursue a music career. Since then, they have been a frequent collaborator with Maryland MC, Substantial, Bop Alloy, Marcus D, and various members of the QN5 Music roster, among others. In 2018, Stephanie made a guest appearance on Substantial’s first instrumental album, “The Garden” ( Beyond the Stage featuring Uyama Hiroto). In February 2019, Stephanie released their long-anticipated debut LP, Songs About V, and in December of 2019, they released their first holiday project, entitled Christmas at 7222, Vol. 1. Then, in December of 2020, Stephanie released Christmas at 7222, Vol. 2, a sobering follow-up to its more lighthearted predecessor.

Hands down [Songs About V is] Steph’s best work to date! Great writing. Dope production. Proud of her growth as an artists. Can’t wait to hear what she has planned next.

— Stan “Substantial” Robinson

Songs About V is a soulful, colorful and beautifully crafted work of art that strings together a wondrous and heartfelt tale of love, pain, realization and growth. Stephanie’s storytelling, production, and lovely voice is felt deep in the solar plexus and translates the inscape of her being as an artist and an individual.
