An American in Paris since 2014, Stacey has been passionate about music her whole life. Raised in California by music-loving parents, she grew up immersed in piano, string bass, choirs, a cappella groups, orchestras, and musical theater — experiences that led her to perform professionally as a vocalist in Japan and later as a singing bartender in New York City.

While building a career producing large-scale media events in Washington, DC, Stacey became a mother and discovered Music Together® with her young daughters. She was immediately struck by the program’s warmth, depth, and research-based approach to early childhood music learning. Watching her own children blossom — musically, socially, and emotionally — confirmed for her the profound impact of high-quality early music education.

After moving to Paris, Stacey was surprised not to find a comparable program for families. Determined to bring this exceptional experience to others, she founded Bébé Music Box in 2017, becoming the first to offer Music Together’s internationally acclaimed music and movement program to families and schools in Paris.

Today, Music Together Bébé Music Box is proud to be one of the most trusted and beloved early childhood music programs in the city, serving a vibrant international community of families and bilingual schools. Stacey and her team are passionate about nurturing confident, joyful music-makers and creating warm, inclusive spaces where children and caregivers connect through song, movement, and play — making the world a better place by making it more musical.
