Stolie is Chicago's Musical Renaissance Woman!  Her world of music began when she was six and started piano lessons. At sixteen, she learned two chords on the guitar and wrote an original song. The Coffee Mug, her first collection of original music featuring 10 songs on guitar and vocals, was self-released on cassette in 1996.

While attending Illinois Wesleyan University (Bloomington, IL) initially as a Music Education major but constantly playing on campus, Stolie switched her major to English to work on writing (songwriting, that is!)  Shortly after, she was performing for loose change in the Tube and quickly for real money at folk clubs in London, England during a study abroad. Upon returning to Chicago, Stolie joined an urban studies program with the Chicago Arts Program and, while living on Rush Street and taking classes in Wrigleyville, she got to work on her second CD, the self-titled Stolie, released in 2000. An electro-pop album (Satire-Laden Melodies) would follow in 2004 and a self-produced, arranged and recorded collection of pop/rock songs in 2008 (Between the Fake and Real) would later be featured on Chicago’s Finest Rock station, WXRT, in March of 2008.  Hear the interview!

Stolie has toured the country in support of her original music and with former all-girl trio, Tres Femmes, worked as a publicist and radio promoter for Bloodshot Records and Call Girl PR, has rocked cover tunes in two acoustic duos -- The Acoustic Sideshow with Scott Schaefer and also with Gina Gonzalez (Lt. Dan Band), and teaches guitar and piano lessons. Stolie has been host to a weekly Thursday night acoustic open mic at Murphy’s Bleachers in Wrigleyville since 2005 and also provides musical accompaniment for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours for local music production company, Cage & Aquarium Productions. Nowadays, Stolie is most frequently busy playing children's shows as Super Stolie at birthday parties, park districts, libraries and street festivals or with her children’s rock band, Super Stolie and The Rockstars, and released her first children’s CD (When I Grow Up) in 2009. Her next collection of kids songs is slated for 2012.
