Stephanie Lottermoser

Born: July 19, 1983

Stephanie Lottermoser is a German saxophonist, singer, composer and bandleader, she lives in Hamburg where she moved to in 2018 after living in Munich and Paris. 

In her music and her six solo albums she is painting pictures of society, individuals and situations, often very personally. Being close to her audience is always very important to her and she manages to create an intimate setting on club stages as well as at large festivals and to take the audience with her into her musical world.

In doing so, she has always remained true to herself and her own artistic and personal development very consistently and beyond musical trends and expectations. Her love for soul jazz and groove music is always clearly audible, but her sound goes far beyond that and also integrates traditional jazz, acid jazz, funk, pop and minimal music into an exciting soundscape.
