Sami Stevens

NYC artist Sami Stevens harnesses Jazz and Singer-Songwriter influences to create truly intimate original music. In writing songs, singing and accompanying herself on keyboard, she crafts a musical world based in silence, delivering dynamic, personal performances. Though performing solo is where she takes complete control of the stage, Sami is also an avid collaborator. Her latest releases include I Insist by Kazemde George, And I'm Right by Sami Stevens and the Man I Love, the Make Your Mind EP with producer KG,B, and Amore Per Tutti with Tredici Bacci. She is also anticipating the spring 2023 release of a solo album entitled Morning.

A graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, Sami’s performance and recording career has transcended genre. She has performed with jazz pianist and Genius Grant recipient Jason Moran, collaborated with acclaimed avant-garde composer and saxophonist John Zorn, recorded with "King of Treme" Shannon Powell, and DIY legend Gary Wilson, toured opening for Indie Rock/Emo favorites Pinback, performed with jazz pianist and 6-time Grammy nominee Fred Hersch, opened for Grammy nominated folk singer Greg Brown, Rachael Price of pop-soul band Lake Street Dive, and legendary Black Star MC Talib Kweli, sang for psych/garage rock artist Ty Segall’s “Emotional Mugger” premiere, and appeared on various film and TV soundtracks, including Archer (FX; J.G. Thirlwell) and Sesame Street (PBS). Her projects have been lauded by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Downbeat, and the New York Times, and featured on various official Spotify playlists, including “Best Vocal Jazz of 2021.”
