Steph Wall is an enigmatic force in alternative soul, effortlessly bending genres into a sound she calls "velvet alternative"— a fusion of surf, soul, indie rock, and Americana twang. Hailing from Vancouver, B.C., Wall’s music is both nostalgic and fiercely original, drawing inspiration from jazz heroes, pop divas, and folk storytellers alike.

Over the past decade, she has honed her craft studying under jazz vocalists in Vancouver and New Orleans, developing a signature vocal style—singing like a horn might play, her voice both raw and ethereal. Comparisons to Yebba, Amy Winehouse, and Jessica Pratt capture only a fraction of her range; she is as likely to croon over a psych-surf groove as she is to belt a gut-wrenching ballad.

Her 2023 LP, My Angels, wove themes of grief, transformation, and human connection into a lush sonic tapestry, earning her recognition from Exclaim! as one of Canada’s emerging artists to watch. Now, she enters a new era with the release of Gusher, a fiery new single dropping March 28, 2025, setting the stage for her upcoming EP, TANG (June 2025). Packed with bold, intoxicating melodies and playful yet poignant lyricism, TANG promises to be Wall’s most dynamic work yet.

Onstage, Wall is electric. Backed by her longtime band—trusted collaborators since 2021—she commands the room with magnetic energy, seamlessly shifting between moments of intimate vulnerability and high-voltage performance. Whether singing about heartbreak, joy, or driving too fast with the windows down, Wall invites her audience into a world that is unmistakably hers.

More than just a performer, Wall is a tireless advocate for Vancouver’s indie music scene, dedicated to building community and expanding opportunities for artists. As she continues to carve out her own space in the music world, one thing is clear—Steph Wall isn’t just making music; she’s creating a universe.
