Presented by Tulsa Music Night
Casii Stephan and the Midnight Sun
Casii Stephan has a voice that you won’t soon forget. With comparisons to Florence Welch, Fiona Apple and Carole King, her voice will envelop your soul like a “warm blanket” (Tulsa World). Finding a voice through music, Casii communicates her life through song. She sings with the power of knowing herself and is unafraid to share with others. Her songwriting is full of pop hooks that will get stuck in your head and emotional lyrics that will speak to your heart.
Casii moved from MN to Tulsa, OK in 2014 having given up on pursuing music, but music would not give up on her. In 2016, Casii released a single, “I Like The Way” which won an Independent Music Award for “Best Love Song”. Her next single, "GhostShips" received a genre nomination in the Pop category from the Hollywood Music in Media Awards and received an Honorable Mention Award by the USA Songwriting Competition. Her newest single, “Letters”, which was recorded, produced, and mastered in Tulsa is Casii’s beat-driven rock response to the frustration of dating in the digital age: “It’s difficult having a lot of small talk, trying to connect with someone, but nothing happens." This is Casii's first fully self-produced single.
