About Me
I am a passionate singer with a love for music. Born in California, raised in Hawaii, I now reside in Vienna, Austria where my journey as a singer began with classical music, then Jazz and later continued into soul and pop. I have been singing professionally for over 12 years and have built up a repertoire of over 300 songs. My career as a singer has brought me to countless stages and venues, including weddings, parties, events, balls, ships, hotels, und clubs. I invite you to explore my musical world and be inspired by my passion.

Duo
Stephanie Smith & Elias Meiri
Elias Meiri was born in Israel and has been playing the piano since the age of five.
Aided by his perfect pitch, he mastered the art of improvisation at an early age.
​
He attended the Talma Yalin Music High School in Tel Aviv and graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston. He played with various jazz greats such as Dizzie Gillespie, Dave Liebmann, and Steve Grossman in New York for several years before settling in Europe in 1988.
​
In addition to numerous performances with Timna Brauer, he also plays solo concerts and with his various formations. He teaches piano, singing, ear training, and jazz improvisation and devotes himself to composition, CD production, and sound engineering.
​
“It is an honor for me to be able to work with such an outstanding pianist and composer! Elias' passion and mastery for music inspires and pushes me beyond what I thought was even possible!" - Stephanie Smith
