From solo artist to four-piece band, Khamsina have gigged prolifically across Canada and England, developing a sound that's fresh and organic. With a storyteller's flair for the dramatic, they'll take you on a journey with their theatrical, bold and powerful music, filled with soaring melodies and beautifully-crafted lyrics. Likened variously to Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Florence and the Machine, and The Cranberries, Khamsina's music nonetheless refuses to be pigeonholed.
"From swirling remix magic to pristine production. Khamsina is a songwriter, producer and vocalist all rolled into one incredibly talented being." Chris Chadwick - Fresh On The Net
“She has world class talent and her music is exceptional.” Thumbs Up Theatre Toronto, 2013"big voice and sense for the dramatic" Marc Burrows - The Guardian 2013
"Stevie's music is both delicious and passionate… While she's skilled with electronica, her forté is her voice, which has shades of Kate Bush, Kate McGarrigle, and Joan Baez.” Linda Freemen - TIW Music Chicago
