After scoring some bit parts in sitcoms and dramas she joined pop/punk band, Y'r Impossible. The band lasted a tumultuous and successful five years. In 2009 she single handedly took over what had until then been The Woodward's three piece harmony section. In 2014 Stevie moved to Amsterdam to be a full time Woodward. She currently manages Peter Schuyff 's studio.
