Stephanie Dosen (born 12 May) is an American singer-songwriter. She was raised on a peacock farm in Wisconsin. Her songs have been featured on the soundtracks of Dawson's Creek, NUMB3RS and Party of Five.
Dosen got her start in 1994 with the band Virus, an ambient techno group whose debut album Analogue was considered groundbreaking in the Christian trance music scene. In 2002, Dosen released her first solo album Ghosts, Mice & Vagabonds. The ethereal self-produced work received rave reviews, with Billboard Magazine choosing Dosen as one of the top six independent musicians in the Midwest for 2003.
Dosen joined Massive Attack as a lead vocalist in June 2008. In 2009 she formed the group Snowbird with Simon Raymonde.
Dosen was amongst the nominess at the 2009 NME Awards for 'Sexiest Female' Award, losing to Hayley Williams of Paramore.
One day while sifting through flotsam in the attic, Stephanie found an old guitar covered in dust. It was her secret prize. During the feather harvest, when everyone was busy, Stephanie would sneak up into the attic to compose songs for boys at school. She also wrote many lullabies for her two favorite pets, a swan and a fox. Stephanie now writes mostly for ghosts with a rusty tape player named jean-pierre that follows her everywhere. She has made it through 7 states and 2 minor sets of injuries but still holds onto her twilight written songs with happiness. The influence of the nightly peacock mewing and swan swimming can still be heard in her music. Her new record a lily for the spectre is filled with driving cradlesongs for ghosts gone astray. She has teamed horses with Simon Raymonde (Bella Union Records, Cocteau Twins) who blesses a lily for the spectre with bass and filigree sounds for lost peacocks.
