With this new generation of pop and fast paced beats, out emerges a new breed of the young soul. Stacy Barthe is this new fresh artist, writing from her soul and with care; she exudes calmness and peace. Born in Brooklyn, raised in Long Island and of Haitian decent, Barthe grew up with the inspiration of Sade, Bob Marley, Ella Fitzgerald, Lauryn Hill and The Fugees; which created a deep and serene portrayal of her life through her writing and singing.
Barthe was born to write, born to tell a story through tangible emotions. Signing a publishing deal to Universal Music Publishing Group by Ethopia Habtermariam in 2007 would spark the introduction to Barthe’s career. Soon after Barthe would land her first placement “Blur” on Britney Spears Circus album. Barthe has worked with Akon, Melanie Fiona, Estelle, Brandy, and Diddy. Penning album tracks for Katy Perry “Hummingbird Heartbeat”, Rhianna “Cheers”, and Kelly Rowland “Everywhere You Go”, would open up the world’s listening ear to Barthe’s rich and resonant writing. Working with producers Hit-Boy, Cool and Dre, The Runners, Jerry Wonder, Danja, Tricky Stewart and many more caused a curiosity to hear more from this uniquely crafted artist.
In December 2010, Barthe made the decision to answer the calling she felt within by creating a personal work of art, “Sincerely Yours, Stacy Barthe”. Barthe carefully selected tracks, sat down and wrote her first EP with conviction and sincerity. Using this album as a release from her own brokenness, Barthe wrote this album as if she were in a therapy session, sharing her inner most thoughts and life experience to hopefully help free others just as she has in creating “Sincerely Yours, Stacy Barthe”. “I released this work for free because this was a time in my life that I am setting free.” Says, Barthe, “So, why not give it away for Free? It was not only a musical release, it was a personal release.” “Sincerely Yours, Stacy Barthe” is an album that is timeless. “Been Blasting “Sincerely Yours, Stacy Barthe” ALL DAY from the House to the CAR” says Diddy. Barthe’s first EP has filled a void that the music lover has been missing.
Being completely transparent makes Barthe an artist and songwriter that many can relate to. Creating real-life music, in real-time for real-people is what draws Barthe’s fans to her. You can’t help but to become a fan of her serene music, infectious smile and bubbly personality. Barthe can easily be described as fresh, mellifluous and euphonic; her music well defines her. Sip a glass of wine, let your soul free and heal music. “You can find hurt and pain in my music while finding the light. It represents empowerment… I speak from a very truthful and sincere place…with love” – Stacy Barthe
