About Sapphira Vee
Sapphira Vee is a U.S. dark electronic artist currently based in Chicago, Illinois.
Following earlier self-released and collaborative works, Sapphira Vee issued “Aerial Human” in 2022 on Distortion Productions. For that album Sapphira joined forces with Houston hip-hop artist Pee Wee P on “Fools”, Blue Eyed Christ’s John Norten on “Let the Arrow Break”, and Veronica Tam on the opening “White Aura” which was written by Jean-Marc Ledermen of The Weathermen. Also included are the three original tracks from last year’s “Duet” EP, featuring Chris Connelly (Ministry / Pigface / Revolting Cocks / Cocksure, etc.), Mike Reidy (W.O.R.M. / The Joy Thieves /Dogtablet), and Jim Semonik (Jimmy Semtex / Red Lokust / Rein(Forced) / creator of Electronic Saviors). In addition, Roger Ebner (Roger Ebner Band / Bitter Elixir / Yeti Rain) played the saxophone on “This Gift Was Not Meant For Me”.
It was followed by “Fortune” in 2023. 2024 saw the single “Stand Together” featuring Veronica Tam. That single was intentionally released on Martin Luther King Jr Day. The remix collection “Lost Your Found” followed that same year.
In 2025, “Unfolding” arrived with six new songs and a featured appearance by Jim Semonik.
