Recordings
Michael Stegner’s musical journey began at age five in Mt. Sterling, KY, where he first took up piano and developed a love for performing. Influenced early on by legends like Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, Michael’s passion for music deepened when he discovered the innovative sounds of Miles Davis and Gil Evans’ “Sketches of Spain.” This revelation sparked his lifelong fascination with improvisation and genre-blending, which continued to evolve as he explored jazz, electronic, and experimental music.
After earning a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Piano from the University of Miami, where he performed in the experimental band The Jongleurs, Michael moved to Seattle. There, he became a key figure in the city’s underground music scene, performing across genres from hip hop and electronic to jazz and Americana. His collaborations with artists like Reggie Watts, Louis Cole, and Michael Shrieve, among others, showcase his versatility and creativity.
In late 2016, Michael relocated to Los Angeles, where he has continued to release and record new music, while also producing for other artists. Explore Michael’s discography below, stream his latest releases, and follow him on Spotify and social media to stay connected with his musical adventures.
