Artist Biography

Steph Strings is the Melbourne/Naarm–born singer‑songwriter and guitarist whose technical mastery of fingerstyle guitar, percussive technique, and genre‑spanning songwriting has elevated her from coastal indie roots to commanding festival stages around the world. Raised on a blend of blues, folk, Celtic modalities, and acoustic intricacies, she first garnered attention with her breakout LION EP and a string of sold‑out headline tours across Australia, Europe, and North America, supporting acts like The Cat Empire, Vance Joy, and Ziggy Alberts while honing a sound defined by intricate guitar work, nuanced rhythmic accents, and emotive vocal delivery that bridges folk introspection with pop and country‑tinged expansiveness. With her 2026 debut album Feel Alive — produced alongside Jared Adlam and Tim Hart — Steph expands her technical palette further, threading driving beats, hypnotic melodic textures, and lush harmonic layering into a rich sonic narrative that feels at once intimate and cinematic. Through meticulous fingerstyle craftsmanship, layered acoustic and electric textures, and a natural gift for evocative storytelling, Steph Strings creates music that resonates with both the heart’s quiet interiority and the wide‑open energy of festival fields.
