We’re honoured to welcome another powerhouse to the lineup: the incredibly talented, award-winning producer Steph Copeland 🎶✨ 

Steph is a screen composer, producer, and artist whose sound is as cinematic as it is emotionally charged. She’s known for her darker-leaning pop and gripping film scores including Cascade, The Retreat, Laced, and The Oak Room. Since 2022, she’s earned four Canadian Screen Music Awards, and in 2024, she was nominated for Best Original Score and Original Song for the feature film Cascade.

Her artistry has taken her around the world, most recently to Bratislava where she recorded an orchestral score with the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra. In Toronto, she continues to self-produce and collaborate with artists like Ria Mae, James Bryan, NIIVA, and Sarah MacDougall.

Her music has been featured in shows like Snowpiercer, Tiny Pretty Things, and L.A.’s Finest, and in campaigns for NBA Canada, The North Face, Bose, Destination Toronto, and the Pan-Am Games.

Beyond her creative work, Steph brings people together by producing and conducting all-female ensembles for events like the SOCAN Awards, TIFF Gala, and Canada’s Walk of Fame, with the goal of creating space for others through her leadership and art.

🎧 Meet her IRL and hear her track with us at on June 23.
