Growing up, STETRA (Steph) was drawn to creating art in all of its mediums. Heavily influenced by her first generation Vietnamese family's love for all music spanning from Vietnamese cai luong, New Wave, Disco Funk, R&B, Soul, Hip Hop and House - she was inspired to explore the art of creating emotions with sound. 

STETRA’s love for dancing and fusion of musical genres is ever present in her groove forward eclectic sets she's recognized for. Her "ENMOTION // Daybreak and Nocturnal” series takes the listener on a genre fluid journey of Lo Fi, Afro, Funk, and Soul to threading the different sub genres of House, Disco, Deep Tech, Techno. Soulful vocals overlaid on swinging, seductive bass lines with an emphasis on vibe and setting have a heavy influence on STETRA’s mixing style that has caught the attention of music aficionados and artists alike. With her inaugural track release on Little Festival Records with Faucon for the Ikinasai EP, STETRA looks forward to continue pushing her artistry.

List of artists she has been able to share the stage with include: Peggy Gou, Amtrac, Stacy Pullen, Sultan + Sheperd, Rochelle Jordan, BLOND:ISH, Dragos Ilici, Monolink, Nora En Pure, Jesse Calosso, Sebastian Ledher, Michelle, Dead-Tones, Jeremy Olander, Eli & Fur, Kasbo, One of Them, Marsh, The Soul Brothers, Matt Lange, Lee K, Marbs, Walker & Royce, Madam X, Noir, and Treasure Fingers. 

In 2013, Stephanie moved to Dallas, TX where she became heavily involved in the nightlife industry with groups: Socium Project, Laced Mentality, and Ronin Entertainment. In April of 2017, STETRA joined the founding partners of a local Dallas collective (LOLO) to break ground on new talent and curate House and Techno shows throughout the Texas region until the collective came to a close in November of 2018. Post LOLO in late 2018, Technorotica was launched. 

Technorotica was founded on a common love of exploring the deep, provocative side of art, music, and freedom of self-expression in unique and intimate settings. Intentionally placing artistry, creativity, community, and inclusivity at its heart, Technorotica’s goal is to help grow and evolve underground dance music culture in Dallas. The collective emphasizes a groove-forward sound dipping into all shades of the four on the floor, enticing  listeners with seductive grooves that may not be familiar but draws them in.

Tommy & Linda grew up in the frigid town of Juno, Vermont. While other children were being serenaded by lullabies and playing house, the soundtracks in Tommy and Linda’s nurseries were the likes of Brian Eno and Kraftwerk. Linda was presented with an analog synthesizer for her 4th birthday whilst Tommy was combing through his parents' record collection for anything with that familiar, rhythmic beat. Cue the 1988 Juno Middle School Spring Talent Show. Amidst the auditorium chaos, the curtains drew back to illuminate a stealthy Linda perusing the keys of her trusty synth. As the oscillating sounds made their way to Tommy, he undoubtedly knew this was the same song he was planning to cover just moments later. Most people in this situation would find themselves in disarray, but Tommy found his musical mate.

Professional photographer, who also creates hypnotic melodies and rhythmical soundscapes using only her vocals.
