BIO
Based in Ottawa, Canada, Stephanie Marcantonio—known artistically as QUEENYY—is a dynamic force in the music and movement world. A singer-songwriter, DJ, and movement artist, QUEENYY blends sound, rhythm, and soul into everything she creates. Rooted in authenticity and self-expression, she’s rapidly become a key voice in the underground and wellness scenes, both locally and abroad.
QUEENYY’s music journey began with her sultry, rasp-laced vocals and vulnerable songwriting. Her 2019–2020 releases, including the debut EP Distance, introduced her genre-bending sound and emotional depth. In 2021, she expanded her creative reach with self-directed visuals that fused her love for music and dance.
Stepping behind the decks in 2022, QUEENYY brought her rich, global dance background to her DJ sets—melding tribal rhythms, underground electronic sounds, and groove-heavy beats into immersive sonic experiences. Her sets echo her travels and dance training, constantly pushing boundaries while staying grounded in cultural roots. QUEENYY is constantly on the lookout for fresh innovative sounds, aiming to showcase the forefront of global underground music in her genre-defying sets.
In 2023, her creative evolution led her to India for a 200-hour yoga teacher training, followed by time in South Africa studying African street dance. Merging these worlds, she began teaching yoga to dancers at Soweto’s Finest Dance Studio in Johannesburg and led embodied movement practices, deepening her commitment to holistic artistry.
By 2024, Queenyy had fully merged her talents—offering DJ sets, Ecstatic Dance journeys, and movement classes both locally and at the PNW Afro Dance Camp in Seattle, USA. She also facilitated motivational workshops through platforms like Beyond City Beats and curated femme-only DJ workshops, empowering the next generation of women in music.
QUEENYY is a regular performer at Ottawa hotspots like City At Night, The Flava Factory and Dance Temple Ottawa. QUEENYY has graced stages at Debaser: Pique Festival, Axé Worldfest EWMI, Capital Music Week, Gaiafest, Sonic Springs Music & Art Festival and more. Internationally, she’s performed live on DEJAVU FM in London, UK and at venues in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil.
QUEENYY moves with intention, creativity, and a passion for connection. She is a vibrant thread in the global tapestry of music and dance = healing arts.
