JESSE METCALF IS:
Jesse Metcalfe is best known to television audiences for his role as Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald on the daytime drama Passions.

Metcalfe grew up in Waterford, CT and attended New York University, where he studied film and acting at the Tisch School of the Arts, with the goal of one day becoming a director. He also worked as a model, doing commercial and print work for such publications as Seventeen and YM.

After graduation his modeling agency sent him on an open-call audition for the daytime NBC soap opera Passions, where he won the role of Miguel over hundreds of other actors. He also appeared in the FX television movie 44 Minutes: A Shoot Out in North Hollywood, and in a recurring role on Smallville. This fall Jesse Metcalfe will appear in the hour long ABC drama "Desperate Housewives".

In his spare time, Metcalfe enjoys playing guitar and writing music. An avid basketball player, he has participated in "The Hollywood Knights," a charitable team that raises money for high schools throughout Southern California.

STEFY IS:
STEFY is a band with the energy of No Doubt, and an incredibly sexy front woman, Stefy Rae, who combines the brashness of Pink and the commanding stage presence of Debbie Harry. Rae is bold and captivating as the focal point of the electro-infused rock band, STEFY.

Whether singing about moving on from a torrid relationship, getting over a boy who is as fake as Orange Crush, or lamenting about a pair of teens in Orange County who lose their innocence too early, Rae's melodic voice has a subtle force, making it the only aspect of this band that isn't totally in-your-face. With Sean Meyer (guitar), Jason Gaviati (keys) and Andreas Brobjer (drums), STEFY unleashes a barrage of pop hooks and electric rock energy on their album and on stage.

Rae credits her quirky, Bolivian grandmother who was also a singer, with inspiring her to pursue her dream.

"My grandmother is a wild child," Rae said. "She isn't afraid of anything. I remember her singing live on the radio all the time in Bolivia.

"She is also a very strong person," Rae continued. "She came from another country with seven kids not knowing where they were gonna live, not knowing the language. Just packed up her bags and left. Her free spirit and strength is what inspires me."

Rae looked for that same sense of uniqueness in her band as well. Gaviati has performed with his own band and toured with Roc-A-Fella artist Samantha Ronson. Meyer was gigging whilst studying at Musicians Institute. Brobjer has gigged all around Europe. The trio brings an air of exuberance and fresh ideas to STEFY.
