Steven Halpern

Steven Halpern is a Grammy®-nominated, Billboard-charting and multi-platinum selling recording artist, sound therapy composer, producer, author, educator and trail-blazing sound healer.

A founding force of modern New Age music

A pioneer of inner peace

Steven’s Deep Alpha: Brainwave Balancing Music for Meditation was a 2012 Grammy® nominee, spending 64 weeks on Billboard’s Top Ten New Age chart. Author of Tuning the Human Instrument (1977) and Sound Health (Harper & Row, 1985), he has written for all the leading New Age publications and is featured in the Great Minds series on gaia.com.

In the ancient tradition of artists seeking their muse, Steven began to hear a new form of heavenly music in deep meditation. Over 48 years he developed a signature approach to tone, time, space and frequency, and launched one of the first independent New Age labels to bring that sound to a global audience.

From jazz roots to landmark research

Celestial tones, scientific proof

He traded his jazz trumpet and electric guitar for the instrument that produced those celestial tones — the new Fender Rhodes electric piano, which became the signature sound of his sound therapy recordings.

Landmark brainwave biofeedback and human energy field research in 1973, 1977 and 1999 provided scientific proof for the brain-balancing effects of his compositions. Steven has recorded and produced over 100 albums.

Changing how the world listens

An industry icon

KEYBOARD magazine named him in 1995 as one of the top 20 artists who changed the way we play and listen to music, alongside McCoy Tyner and Brian Eno. In concert he has opened for the Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Wayne Dyer and John Bradshaw at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

His legacy reaches across holistic medicine, sound therapy, massage therapy and the alternative music industry, with features in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, ABCNews.com, BBC, Prevention Magazine and CBS-TV’s 48 Hours.
