Sufjan Stevens

Musician

Sufjan Stevens (born July 1, 1975) is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, noted for intimate folk songwriting, elaborate orchestral arrangements and electronic experimentation.

Founder/co-founder of the Asthmatic Kitty label; known for the Illinois (Come On Feel the Illinoise) album, the intimate Carrie & Lowell, and for alternating acoustic folk projects with electronic/experimental works such as The Age of Adz.

DeBaser reviews praise Sufjan Stevens for intimate songwriting (notably Carrie & Lowell), ambitious orchestral pop (Illinois/Come On Feel the Illinoise) and electronic experimentation (The Age of Adz, The Ascension). Live performances are described as emotional and meticulously staged. Critics note recurring themes of grief, spirituality, and formal reinvention across his discography.

For:Listeners who appreciate intimate singer-songwriter music, orchestral arrangements, and electronic experimentation.

 Entering the lives of others: I have never been able to do it.
