Stacy entered the University of Southern California in 1995 as a trumpet performance major and became one of the founding members of the SoCal VoCals in 1996. Inspired by singing and teaching in the group, she changed her major to voice and music education. During her tenure with the VoCals, she served as a producer on two CARA-nominated SoCal VoCal albums and began winning awards for her vocal arrangements.
After graduating from USC in 2000, Stacy focused on teaching high school, and arranging music professionally as a staff member for the Ultimate A Cappella Arranging Service. Her arrangements, which were commissioned from all over the United States, were featured on several vocal albums. They also won awards in several international a cappella competitions.
Currently, Stacy is a teacher and much sought-after vocal arranger and soloist. Her arrangement of the National Anthem was most recently featured at both Clippers and Lakers home games, and the 2008 Democratic National Debate. She regularly sings in productions at the Hollywood Bowl and is a working studio trumpet player and vocalist. Most recently she can be heard, both as a vocalist and trumpet player, on the albums Have You Not Heard, and Here Til the End (News at Eleven), Tug of War (Gabriel Mann), L.A. Curse (James Snyder) and on the soundtrack for the short film, "Spelling Bee." She was the solo trumpet featured on the soundtrack for the video game, "The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night." Stacy is also heavily involved in her church music department, as a musician and a contractor. Every summer, she can be found at Arrowbear Music Camp as the Assistant Camp Director for the Elementary and Intermediate sessions, playing her guitar and singing like a rockstar, or looking for her clipboard.
