Lyrical jazz in the tradition of understatement.

Pianist Sultan Stevenson is a rising star in the contemporary London jazz scene. It’s no surprise, as he deeply touches listeners with his humble and reserved manner, which further reveals the radiant essence of his artistry. His keen sensitivity to breathing melodies, his mindful use of silence and the subtle, dense harmonies allow Stevenson to blossom with quiet intensity and gentle groove, right from the first note. Stevenson’s sound is also infused with his African heritage and its diaspora, such as gospel, reggae, funk and hip-hop, giving his music even more depth, intensity and soul. His second album, El Roi, is set to be released in 2025 — something to look forward to!
