Very few people go through life doing what they feel they are meant to do; Stacy Donahue is one of those fortunate few. Seemingly born to sing, she’s jumped at the opportunity to perform, both nationally and internationally, with choirs and musical productions at every stage of her educational and musical career. A classically trained music educator, Stacy spent her first two years after college graduation teaching in the public schools of her native Nebraska before choosing to follow her own serendipitous musical path, first to Chicago and then to Nashville.
A multi-dimensional artist, her passion for singing may only be matched by her enthusiasm for songwriting. It was with a song she wrote herself that she was selected as a finalist from the Chicago area to compete and perform in the Colgate Country Showdown at Country Thunder 2004 in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. Stacy outperformed all other individual performers, taking third place behind two band acts. Nashville was waiting.
She spent two years playing gigs down on “Broadway” before deciding to truly take control of her career. While many singers in Nashville are content to make due with the talent they have, Stacy has chosen to take time off from the stage to hone her skills. “I recently read a quote that said ‘the only way to predict the future is to create it,’” Stacy says. “And that’s exactly what I’m doing every single day.” A piano player since the age of 8, Stacy took up guitar over a year ago, and now spends her time practicing, writing music with some of the industry’s most established names, and performing demos.
Inspired by Whitney Houston, Amy Grant, Mariah Carey, Martina McBride, and the indomitable Faith Hill – all women with big voices and phenomenal careers – Stacy is driven to be not just a singer, but an entertainer. “Music is my love,” she says. “I look forward to waking up everyday and getting to do exactly what I feel like I am here to do – share music with people.”
