SABINE STANZER
Lead Singer
My name is Sabine and I was born in 1980 in Austria. Since I can remember, I always loved to sing.
​
At 16 I had my first punk rock band and that's when I decided that I wanted to make music for a living. We were young but we sounded pretty good and we played only originals.
​
Like I said at the beginning, I always loved to sing but it wasn't the right time yet. Life kept me so busy with work and other things that I didn't have the time for it anymore and I thought already that's it, it's not happening!
​
But I was so wrong! :)
​
In 2015 I moved to San Pedro, Belize and started singing again. First I sang only Karaoke but I sang almost every night and I was so happy that I was able again to do what I love most and wherever there was Karaoke you would find me.
​
One day a well known island musician came to me and asked me if I would like to join him on his gigs and sing some songs.
As I write this I realize that he is the reason that I sing in a band again today.
The day I started singing with him I remembered that this is what I really want to do and that it was time to follow my dreams.
I learned so much from him and I'm so thankful for all he did for me.
​
After a while singing with him I started to host karaoke and jam nights in a friends‘ bar with some other great musicians and friends I met on the island. I did this up to 5 nights a week and I loved every minute of it.
​
A couple of months later I started to gig with another great musician from New York. A very passionate and high energetic performer just like me. It was magic, how we complement each other. We played at least 4 times a week and rocked the island until I decided to move to Canada in August 2017.
​
Currently I'm working on my own songs and I'm lead singer with Alset. A high energy rock band based in Kamloops. We play covers and originals and gig regulary in Kamloops and around.
​
I also host 2 jam nights with my bandmates.
​
Thursday nights at the 'Rock'n Firkin' and Saturdays at 'The Office'.
​
I get often compared with Janis Joplin, Melissa Etheridge and Beth Hart because of my raspy, distinctive and unique rock/blues singing voice.
​
I can sing quite beautifully, but then rare back and yell some lines.
​
And than there's my unique performance style. 'I'm going mad' energy, and sing it, yell, scream, and people applaud.
​
I'm on fire when I'm performing and I always perform with emotion and sing with feeling.
I literally feel the music in my heart, body and mind!
​
Come to a show and see for yourself :).
