Stephanie Avramidis, known professionally as Steph Strings, is an Australian fingerstyle guitarist, singer and songwriter.
Early life and education String commenced piano lessons at age seven and guitar lessons at age nine.. As a teenager, she learned to play the guitar by searching YouTube after school. She came upon a clip of OneRepublic’s Zach Filkins playing intricate flamenco guitar at one of the band’s stadium shows. "I just remember my heart racing and my world opened up because I knew I could do that — even though I obviously wasn’t at that stage skill-wise or even performance-wise or confidence-wise. He’s ripping in and it’s cool just to be up there by yourself — with no vocals."
Career 2017–2024: EPs In January 2018, Strings released her debut EP Allegoric Oceans, which was followed by Wildfire in 2022.
In April 2023, Strings released her third EP Lion.
