There’s many words that can be used to describe Casii Stephan’s vocals. Passionate, fierce, and raw are just a few that come to mind.
Casii Stephan is a soul pop/rock artist based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When Stephan was growing up, she was afraid of her voice until she began to write songs on her family piano when she was 16. Music began to allow her to discover a deeper sense of self. She grew up in St. Paul, and moved to Tulsa in 2014 with intentions to give up her pursuit of a music career. But with a little encouragement from a friend, she continued that journey and began releasing music!
Stephan has been compared to the likes of Florence Welch, Fiona Apple and Carole King. Her works have been received warmly by listeners and critics worldwide. Her latest single “Trapeze Artist” was inspired after scrolling through her social media feeds, and seeing the highs and lows of humanity.
She revealed, “From finding love to accounts of racism. It’s all there and it makes one feel like a trapeze artist swinging back and forth. It’s a growth process to know how to process all of this information and what to do with it and know what I can reasonably do in the community I’m in. No one person can change the world”.
Hope is an underlying theme in Stephan’s music. She explains, “Its such a cliched word and yet there are so many layers to it. Hope keeps us alive. It keeps us moving. But it also feels flighty some days like a pixie that does what it wants. But it’s not a pixie. It’s more like the air we breathe. Some days it’s presence is stronger than we realize and some days we forget in our day-to-day lives that it’s there… keeping us moving forward”.
