  ## Career
  
  ### Featuring
  
  Steffany Gretzinger worked mainly as a worship leader with Bethel Music, which is a part of Bethel Church in Redding, California. She was involved in three of Bethel Music's releases, which included: background vocals for Be Lifted High (2011, as Steffany Frizzell), "One Thirst" with fellow Bethel collective member Jeremy Riddle, and background vocals on fellow Bethel Music member William Matthews' release, Hope's Anthem (2011, as Steffany Frizzell).
  
  Another release from such a gathering was The Loft Sessions (2012, again as Steffany Frizzell), where she was a featured vocalist and composer (and performed background vocals). The Loft Sessions was a live recording made "over several nights of worship sessions" in a rustic, refurbished loft, on which she sang "You Know Me" (solo) and "My Dear" (with Hunter Thompson). That same year, she was featured on the album For the Sake of the World, singing "Closer". She joined Bethel again for their release of Tides (2013), also released internationally (e.g., on the Onimusic label in Brazil), with her songs "Letting Go" and "Be Still".
  
  ### Solo
  
  Gretzinger's first solo album, The Undoing (2014), featured eleven original praise and worship pieces, accompanied by guitar and piano, and was released in August by Bethel Music. The album was a Billboard magazine breakthrough release and appeared on the Top Christian Albums chart at No. 2, the Independent Albums chart at No. 5, and the Billboard 200 chart at No. 20.
  
  Since recording The Undoing, Gretzinger was featured on two further Bethel Music albums: You Make Me Brave (2014, "We Dance") and Have It All (2016, "Pieces"), the latter of which was also featured on Bethel member Amanda Cook's release, Brave New World (2015).
  
  On March 9, 2018, Bethel Music announced the release of Gretzinger's second full-length studio project, Blackout, releasing the lead single, "Save Me". The album was released on March 29, 2018. She was featured on Francesca Battistelli's 2019 song "Defender", which Gretzinger co-wrote.
  
  In 2020, Gretzinger released her third album, Forever Amen, with Provident Music Group.
