New York, NY (Top40 Charts) That's what Steph Prost, the multi-talented L.A. based DJ/rapper/songwriter behind the emerging two-girl outfit STASH (www.dancestash.com) thought when heard LMFAO's "
Party Rock Anthem" and saw them become global EDM sensations.
A master at creating fresh mash-ups, the San Antonio native had built a great rep producing and DJing for exclusive private parties and events ranging from big film premieres to RedBull
Spring Break, the Sundance Festival and South By Southwest. But music had always been part of the multi-instrumentalist's family DNA, and she was restless to expand.
A few years later, Steph's vision, ambition and funky way with a rap sets the groove for the powerhouse vocals of classically-trained pop singer
Amanda Maze. With a musical partnership driven by natural chemistry and a playful, laid back friendship, they're having a blast as STASH, gearing up to unleash their high-energy pop meets electro-pop (or, as they like to dub it, "poppy house") on the world.
The duo's infectious debut single - the "lousy ex-boyfriend"-inspired anthem "Tear Me Down" is headed to Top 40 radio while throbbing, empowering "Strip Me Bare" is being shipped to clubs and DJs across the country. STASH is also rolling out three high-energy music videos all coming at you from different angles - including , a the slick, clubby, Hollywood-vintage ('60s) themed clip for "Strip Me Bare," a fun - slice of life for "Tear Me Down" and a third for their crisp and edgy, fun party manifesto "Red Cup, Pinky Up." Also in the pipeline - their debut EP will drop before the end of 2014.
Steph's killer DJ sets at Sundance brought a ton of new opportunities, and she ultimately joined forces and started working with producer Nick James, whose credits include arranging and producing on Justin Bieber's Under The Mistletoe. The EP will also feature tracks produced and co-written by
David Kidd and STASH's current musical director Nick Annis.
James says, "STASH is a breath of fresh air on the Pop/Dance scene. With all the energy they have I know they will leave an impression on everyone who meets them."
