Who is Stacy Marie? An accomplished pianist, vocalist, dancer and songwriter, Stacy Marie Trammell Walker has been performing and ministering on stages across America and Europe for over twenty years. She is the daughter of Larry and Alice Trammell and thus grew up in a family of professional musicians, songwriters, entertainers, authors, missionaries, and worship leaders who functioned in every "office" of the ministry. She was one of four sopranos chosen nationally to be in the NARAS (National Association of Recording Arts & Sciences) Grammy Jazz Choir in 1996, where she performed with Carlos Santana, Jon Secada, Monica, and Arturo Sandoval. The Grammy In The Schools program made this once in a lifetime opportunity possible, where she was a guest of honor at the Grammy Awards and recorded a CD with A&M Records in Los Angeles, California. Some of her other accomplishments include being a Governor's Honors Program Voice major in 1995, a member of the Georgia All—State Chorus for six consecutive years (the longest any student can participate), a Georgia Honors Chorus participant, and the lead female role in off—Broadway productions such as "Oliver", "Once Upon A Mattress", "My Fair Lady", and "The Secret Garden". She also performed Carnegie Hall in New York City with the Georgia Youth Chorale in 1994. Stacy started her private piano studies in 1984 with Debra Shilling, where she was a student of classical music, with special emphasis in the Suzuki Method, for over ten years. She also studied jazz piano for a brief period of time with instructor Ted Howe who was a professor at Berkeley School of Music. Her father Larry Trammell, a highly acclaimed and gifted musician, taught her much through the years, and was most influential in her musical, performance, and spiritual education and development. Stacy is a local, regional, and national beauty pageant queen bearing titles such as Miss Duluth Princess, Miss Duluth High School, Miss Junior Teen Atlanta, and Miss Cities of America 2nd-Runner up. At the age of 14 she began modeling professionally and has done runway, showroom, print, and commercial work for clients such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Intel, MasterCard, Rich's, and Flax, just to name a few. Stacy had a season of training at MorningStar Fellowship in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she attended the School of Ministry and graduated in 1999. During her studies there she was a vocalist on their worship team (just as she had grown up doing with her family), and was given the hands-on experience of leading worship teams in both small and large gatherings, as well as ministering in song at the conferences. While living in Charlotte she became a professional Ballroom and Latin dance instructor and competitor with Fred Astaire Dance Studios, which is where she met her husband, Edgar Walker in September of 1998. They were wed in May of 2001. Continuing to excel in dancing, Stacy placed in many regional and national dance competitions with Fred Astaire. She became one of the top female dance instructors in the nation, thus was a recipient of the prestigious Gold Freddy teaching award in 2002. She was soon promoted to manage the Fred Astaire studio in Duluth, Georgia, which grew to become one of the top new studios in the nation. She is currently teaching private Voice and Piano lessons out of her music studio, and group Music Theory classes which meet at a local fellowship. She is the worship and band leader for the Sunday morning contemporary services at Oak Grove United Methodist Church in Decatur, Georgia. Stacy is involved as a worship leader psalmist at the International House of Prayer Atlanta, which is a 24-hour prayer and worship center, and she leads worship at her family's House Church on Friday nights, which is a major part of their ministry, Ablaze Ministries. She also performs piano and vocal gigs for corporate and private parties, and is available for studio sessions and concerts, as well as music ministry at church gatherings and conferences. Stacy shares a wonderfully loving and intimate relationship with her family: a younger brother Cliff Trammell, mother Alice Trammell, and father Larry Trammell. Her Daddy has now joined the great cloud of witnesses in eternity. He authored 16 Christian books which he completed just hours before his sudden an unexpected passing in November of 2004 at the age of 50. Stacy is one of the key editors for his books, and is grateful for the legacy that he has left behind and all that he is continuing to accomplish. Like her father, Stacy is a gifted and avid Christian songwriter and she is currently working on her next original CD project which she hopes to release in 2008. |
