Sufjan Stevens is an American singer-songwriter, born on July 1, 1975 in Detroit, Michigan. With his unique blend of folk and indie pop, he has captivated audiences worldwide with his heartfelt lyrics and mesmerizing melodies.
Stevens began his musical journey at a young age, learning to play multiple instruments including the guitar, piano, and banjo. His passion for music led him to pursue a career in songwriting and performing.
Over the years, Stevens has released numerous critically acclaimed albums that showcase his versatility as an artist. From introspective ballads to upbeat anthems, each song tells a story that resonates with listeners on a deep level.

The Ascension is the eighth studio album from singer, songwriter and composer Sufjan Stevens and is the long awaited follow-up to Stevens’ Carrie &amp; Lowell. One of the most acclaimed albums of 2015, The New York Times praised Carrie &amp; Lowell as “restrained and meticulous” while Pitchfork declared it “a masterpiece.” In the time between Carrie &amp; Lowell and the forthcoming The Ascension, Stevens also released Oscar-nominated music for the Luca Guadagnino film Call Me By Your Name; a collaborative album entitled Planetarium with Nico Muhly, Bryce Dessner (The National) and James Mcalister; The Decalogue, a solo piano work performed by Timo Andres; and scored several works for ballet: Reflections (Houston Ballet) and Principia (NYCB). The Ascension is musically expansive and sweeping in thematic scope.
