Sufjan Stevens (Detroit, 1975) es, sin lugar a dudas, el artista más reconocido de la corriente neo-folk de los Estados Unidos.
Sus canciones recogen un universo fantástico y mítico, donde dragones, brujas, el cielo y el infierno dan forma a sus letras.
Stevens comenzó su carrera musical en una banda folk llamada Marzuki, originaria de Holland, Michigan. A su vez, formaba (y forma parte) de Danielson Famile, tocando varios instrumentos. Mientras aun estudiaba en la universidad
