Sufjan Stevens (pronuncia-se “SOOF-yahn”) é um músico multi-instrumentista e compositor americano, nascido em Detroit, Michigan, em 1º de julho de 1975. Dono de grande lirismo e riqueza instrumental, suas músicas estão freqüentemente relacionadas à fé, e a família. Seus álbuns são mesclados com vários estilos, desde eletrônica, em “Enjoy Your Rabbit”; o lo-fi folk em “Seven Swans”; até o instrumentalismo sinfônico em “Illinois” e as músicas natalinas de “Songs For Christmas”.
