ABOUT STEMIN
Stemin is a queer artist known for his unique fusion of pop, soul, and personal storytelling.
Born in Switzerland and raised in Italy, Stemin’s journey began in a deeply religious environment, where music became his sanctuary. As the youngest of six in a pastor’s household, he navigated the challenges of reconciling his identity with tradition.
After being married to a woman and later coming out as queer, Stemin transformed this pivotal experience into powerful, soul-driven music that resonates with listeners worldwide.
“Pop flair, emotional depth and fearless authenticity.”

A Journey of Identity & Transformation
After being married to a woman and later coming out as queer, Stemin turned one of the most pivotal moments of his life into the foundation of his artistry.
His music reflects this transformation: an evolution from internal conflict to bold liberation.
Through storytelling, soul, and fearless honesty, he creates a space where emotions shine and authenticity reigns.
A New Era of Queer Pop
With tracks like “1,2,3,” “XTC,” and “Rainbow Empire,” Stemin ushers in a provocative new era of queer pop, blending emotional depth with playful lyricism and a touch of naughty charm.
Think sultry grooves and cinematic production reminiscent of The Weeknd, but make it gay, with influences from Dua Lipa and Sabrina Carpenter.
His sound is sleek, sensual, and unapologetically queer.
A beacon within Amsterdam’s thriving queer music scene, Stemin has lit up stages across Europe, including:
- Pride Amsterdam
- Milkshake Festival
- Pride Leiden
- International shows across Italy, Germany, and more
- Speaking at the W Hotel’s Queer Me Out panel
- Advocacy for diversity and LGBTQ+ representation
His live shows, a blend of electrifying beats, emotive vocals, and proud queer energy, captivate audiences with immersive storytelling and raw connection.
