LOS ANGELES - Fast-rising female electro/pop duo STASH(www.danceSTASH.com) picked up their first Hollywood Music In MediaAward (HMMA) in the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) category for their lady-empowering anthem “Strip Me Bare.”

Their edgy party manifesto “Red Cup! Pinky Up” also scored a nod in theDance category.

Held Nov. 4 at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, Calif., the HMMAs (www.hmmawards.org) honor music from visual mediums, individuals who create and produce it, and both mainstream and independent musicians from around the globe. Among the many red carpet attendees included iconic DJ/producer Paul Oakenfold, Earth, Wind & Fire bassist Verdine White, and actor Eric Roberts.

Shot in and around Hollywood, the upbeat video for the “lousy ex-boyfriend” inspired single “Tear Me Down” – which was recently released to Top 40 radio- has already racked up nearly 10,000 YouTube views since its debut on YouTube.

The official music video for ”Strip Me Bare“ was also recently released, and will soon be shipped to clubs and DJs around the country.

The concept for STASH – comprised of multi-talented DJ/Rapper Steph Prostand classically-trained pop singer Amanda Maze -originated when Steph heard LMFAO’S “Party Rock Anthem” and saw them become EDM sensations.

A master at creating fresh mash-ups, the San Antonio native had built a great rep producing and DJing for exclusive private parties and events ranging from big film premieres to RedBull Spring Break, the Sundance Festival andSouth By Southwest. However music had always been part of the multi-instrumentalist’s family DNA, and she was determined to amplify her music arsenal.

Steph’s killer DJ sets at Sundance brought a ton of new opportunities, and she ultimately joined forces and started working with producer Nick James, whose credits include arranging and producing on Justin Bieber‘s Under The Mistletoe. STASH’s EP – slated for release this month – will also feature tracks produced and co-written by David Kidd and their current musical director,Nick Annis.
