About Steph Wall:
 
Steph Wall is an enigmatic alternative indie/soul singer hailing from Vancouver, B.C. Struck by the pop and soul divas that became the giants in Steph’s world such as Amy Winehouse, Alanis Morissette, and Etta James, Wall’s music draws from these influences, enabling her to seamlessly blend genres. Following close off the heels of recording her upcoming project, “TANG”, Steph welcomes you into her vibrant world, where playful and thought-provoking lyrics meet bold, tasty melodies. With soul and grit at the heart of her performance, she takes the stage alongside her band, trusted collaborators since 2021, inviting you to immerse yourself in her universe.
