Sufjan Stevens

Sufjan Stevens is a singer-songwriter currently living in Brooklyn, NY. A preoccupation with epic concepts
has motivated two state records (Michigan & Illinois), a collection of sacred and biblical songs (Seven
Swans), an electronic album for the animals of the Chinese zodiac (Enjoy Your Rabbit), two Christmas
box sets (Songs for Christmas, vol. 1-5 and Silver & Gold, vol. 6-10), and a programmatic tone poem for
the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (The BQE). In 2010 Sufjan released an expansive EP (All Delighted
People) and the full length The Age of Adz, a collection of songs partly inspired by the outsider artist
Royal Robertson. His most recent release is a forthcoming album entitled Carrie & Lowell.
Born in Detroit and raised in Northern Michigan, Sufjan attended Hope College, in Holland, Michigan,
and the masters program for writers at the New School for Social Research.
