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.

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), Steven has written articles for all of the leading New Age publications. He is featured in the Great Minds series on gaia.com. In the ancient tradition of artists seeking to connect with their muse, Steven began to hear a new form of heavenly music in deep meditation. 

He traded in 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 iconic sound therapy recordings. Landmark brainwave biofeedback and human energy field research in 1973, 1977, and 1999 provided scientific proof for the unique brain balancing effects of Halpern’s original sound therapy compositions. Steven has recorded and produced over 100 albums. 

KEYBOARD magazine recognized him in1995 as “One of the top 20 artists who changed the way we play and listen to music”, along with McCoy Tyner and Brian Eno. In concert, he has opened for the Dalai Lama, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Wayne Dyer and John Bradshaw (live at Red Rocks Amphitheater).

Halpern’s far-reaching legacy has impacted the fields of holistic medicine, sound therapy, massage therapy, and the alternative music industry. He’s been featured in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, ABCNews.com, BBC, Prevention Magazine, and CBS-TV’s 48 HOURS.
