Vibeke Stene (pronounced vee-beh-keh) (born 17 August 1978) is a Norwegian spinto soprano[1] singer. She is most often recognized as the former vocalist of the gothic metal band Tristania.

Early life

Stene was born in Sokndal, Rogaland, Norway to Steinar Stene and Sissel Bø Stene. She has two sisters named Ingvild and Maiken.[2] She first performed for people outside her family at the age of three.[3] She started taking singing lessons at the age of thirteen[4], and became more interested in classical singing.[5] Later, she decided to be her own teacher.[6] She took vocal lessons until the age of twenty-three.[7] Stene also worked as a teacher in all subjects[8].

Career

Musical background

Stene grew up in a home filled with music. In an interview, she stated that her influences were the people with whom she had performed personally.[9] Before Tristania, Stene mostly performed classical vocals at various music schools.[10] She also sang in choirs and performed in jazz, folk, and classical concerts as a solo artist with varying musicians, and admitted that "all the traveling with the band makes it impossible to let a serious choir depend on you".[11] Stene has cited Tori Amos, Björk, David Bowie, Tom Waits and Diamanda Galás as "only a few of many singers that I think are very good".[12]

Tristania's keyboardist, Einar Moen, said in an interview that Stene "has a classical education actually - sort of an opera school or university degree. And she has also taken singing lessons since she was a little girl, so she's always sung."[13] He also mentioned that when he met Vibeke, she wasn't into gothic metal, but more into rock and heavy metal.[14]

1996-2007: With Tristania

Stene joined Tristania at age 18 while still in school studying music.[15] She met the members of the band first through a friend and later during a music contest.[16] Stene joined the band when they were planning to record their first demo.[17], and at first was meant to be only a guest singer. However she later joined the band permanently. On 27 February 2007, Stene left Tristania for personal reasons, and stated that she wanted to pursue a long-held dream of hers, which was to teach singing.[citation needed]

In spring 2007, around the same time Stene left Tristania, the Finnish Symphonic Metal band Nightwish were going to announce the name of their new female vocalist. Due to Stene's recent departure from Tristania, it was widely discussed in the musical circles whether Vibeke would be inducted into Nightwish to replace Tarja Turunen. The rumor was quickly denied, however, when Stene said in an interview, "I am not the new singer in Nightwish."[18] In 2011, Stene was featured in the song "Queen of Broken Hearts" by the electronic band Plutho. According to the members of Plutho, the song was recorded back in 1999, indicating that Stene has not come out of retirement.
