Still Woozy

Sven Eric Gamsky operates as the Bay Area songwriter and producer Still Woozy, shaping off-kilter indie pop through a homemade blend of acoustic and electronic elements. The R&B-inflected single “Goodie Bag” spread rapidly online in 2017, prompting further standalone releases that culminated in the 2019 Lately EP and its own 100-million-plus streaming track “Habit.” Additional singles followed, among them “Windows” in 2020 and “Rocky” the next year, leading to the full-length debut If This Isn’t Nice, I Don’t Know What Is in 2021. In 2022 he joined Remi Wolf and SZA on joint material before issuing the 2024 single “Shotput.”

Raised in Moraga, California, Gamsky took up guitar during middle school and began recording original music at age 13. In high school he played guitar and bass with classmates Cole Leksan and Jack Morris in the band Shoot the Roots. After earning his diploma in 2010, he joined the indie rock group Feed Me Jack, gave guitar lessons, and enrolled at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he majored in music with a focus on classical guitar and a minor in electronic music. Feed Me Jack disbanded in 2016, one year after Gamsky completed his degree.

Still Woozy surfaced in April 2017 with the warped, jazzy track “Vacation,” followed weeks later by “Cooks,” which gained substantial streaming traction. Later that year the stylized soul number “Goodie Bag” achieved even greater online success, accumulating tens of millions of plays. Periodic singles continued until he secured a distribution arrangement with Interscope through his own Still Woozy Productions imprint, which issued the Lately EP in May 2019 and featured the major follow-up hit “Habit.” Fresh material appeared in 2020, including “Window” and the Republic Records collaboration “Cheesin’” alongside Cautious Clay, Remi Wolf, and Claud. He opened 2021 with “Rocky,” the second preview from If This Isn’t Nice, I Don’t Know What Is. After performing at the Coachella Festival in early 2022, Gamsky teamed with Remi Wolf for the buoyant single “Pool” and contributed production to a track on SZA’s Grammy Award-winning album SOS. The subsequent year he supplied “Anyone But You” to the film of the same title and released “Shotput” in 2024.
