Sufjan Stevens is a singer-songwriter currently living in New York City.

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. In March 2015, Sufjan released Carrie & Lowell. His most recent releases include Planetarium, an Oscar-nominated song for the film Call Me by Your Name (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), The Ascension (2020) and a collaboration with with Angelo De Augustine, A Beginner's Mind (2021).
