NYC artist Sami Stevens harnesses Jazz, Soul, and Folk 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.

In 2023, Sami released her debut solo album ‘Morning’ on Sunnyside Records. Born from a love of classic American music and an ear for storytelling, ‘Morning’ showcases Stevens’ rich vocal delivery as it ebbs between intimate personal stories and stunning symphonic textures, treating the vastness of the human condition with painterly impressions and an empathetic disposition. Glide Magazine wrote “Sami Stevens did more than impress with her first solo outing, she quickly established herself as one of the most promising songwriters to appear in the past few years.”

Though performing solo is where she takes complete control of the stage, Sami is also an avid collaborator. Her latest collaborations include I Insist by Kazemde George, The Way I Feel Inside by Marty Isenberg, 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.

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.”
