fictional stranger is the creative brainchild of stevie utstein and noah hurwitz. Stevie and noah began their musical journey in the san francisco bay area over 20 years ago.

they had the pleasure to work with the extraordinary talent of liv monaghan, whose rich, soulful vocals and boundless improvisational skills brought a new dimension to their music on the Songs People, NightSWIM, Far FROM ME, EOS and COME or GO ( to be released in 2026).

Fictional stranger also has the pleasure of being joined by maud, and other vocalists.

The debut fictional stranger record is releasing one song a month through 2026.

the record was made in san francisco and paris (where Liv resides).

hailing from New Zealand (stevie), the united states (noah), Ireland (Liv), and other places around the globe, the members of fictional stranger offer an international perspective, drawing from a diverse range of cultural and musical influences.
