I hope to use this platform to normalise and encourage the discussion of failure, particularly through the lens of the entertainment industry, to show that it can be a stepping stone towards the road of success. Nothing is better than humour to normalise a situation, so having deep and meaningful conversations, interspersed with comedy and laughter, helps us celebrate and appreciate life's frustrating moments.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T12:19:50.156457+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/funny-in-failure-1031063"},"episode":{"title":"#320: Steph Strings - Feeling Alive","slug":"320-steph-strings-feeling-alive","published_at":"2026-01-05T04:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/funny-in-failure-1031063/320-steph-strings-feeling-alive","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/funny-in-failure-1031063","url":"https://funnyinfailure.libsyn.com/320-steph-strings-feeling-alive","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/funnyinfailure/Full_Steph_Strings_video_with_all.mp3?dest-id=2063339","summary":"Melbourne multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Steph Strings already has many strings, literally and figuratively, to her creative bow. But in early 2026, a brand new chapter will arrive in the form of Steph's long-awaited debut album 'Feel Alive', set for release on Friday 9 January, 2026. Steph has also unveiled a new single and music video, with the smouldering country-pop track 'Devil Woman' which is now out! A truly gifted storyteller at her core, Steph Strings is a renowned singer-songwriter and guitarist, merging coastal fingerstyle indie rock with blues, folk and Celtic influences, along with percussive wizardry. A lover of laughter, big kick drums, sunset drinks, golden retrievers, and philosophical conversations, Steph found a passion for music at the age of 7, learning to play the piano before ultimately finding herself drawn to guitar. Starting guitar lessons at the age of 9, Steph has never looked back. Releasing her debut EP Allegoric Oceans in 2017, Steph's ability to channel her influences and creative history into a sound entirely her own has only deepened with each new release, now in command of millions of streams and a global audience firmly mirroring her talent and determination.
