Hello! My name is Stephen Elsinger, and I am a 19 year old multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer, originally from Lakeville, Minnesota. For as long as I can remember, music has been my greatest passion in life. I began learning piano at a young age (as well as more instruments over the years), but I learned very quickly that original music creation was my strongest talent. This led me to pursue instruction in composition, and later inspired my interest in music technology and recording.

​​

My music is heavily influenced by genres such as classical, jazz, funk, cinematic, and electronic music. I take pride in my versatility, and am always looking for something new to guide my work.​​

​​

I received my initial education in composition at MacPhail Center for Music from Dr. Sarah Miller, and am currently a sophomore at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, pursuing a Bachelor of Music (BM) in Composition. My most recent composition professors include Bright Sheng, Kristin Kuster, and Michael Daugherty.

​

While at Michigan, I am prioritizing collaboration with others above all else. I intend to compose and produce many works in these four years, and connecting with my fellow students is a necessity for this goal to be achieved.​

Please, join me as I navigate my musical education and the music industry at large!
