Details:
Stefan has been drawing pictures and finding a way to perform music ever since he was a little boy. He use to spend hours drawing and watching Sesame Street fueled by his parents record player in the background. He has fond memories of listening to John Lennon''s Double Fantasy album while he sat at his tiny desk doing watercolor interpretations of his favorite Muppet characters.
He would visit his grandparent''s house and would put on all kinds of shows in their living room. Whether he was playing circus or lip synching with his mother''s old guitar to Beatle records, his grandfather at that point realized that their was something going on that needed to be pursued.
The beautiful thing is that it was always embraced and never discouraged. Stefan then went on to take guitar lessons and kept drawing throughout High School. His love for the arts continued to grow and propelled his inspiration to keep creating.
While most kids his age were listening to top 40 music, Stefan found himself reaching out for something more. He would sit in his room with his headphones and draw for hours. He found pieces of himself in the heroes he discovered inspiration in. At the end of High School Stefan caught a U2 concert with his friend Luke at the Providence Civic Center, and it changed his life forever.
After High School, Stefan went on to the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley College. It was here where Stefan completely came into his own. With his big city thoughts and small town sensibilities he found a creative voice in the city of Boston. Surrounded by creativity all the time really helped him evolve as both a person and an artist. At the same time the city fueled his songwriting capabilities with the energy of the city painting the picture of his beautiful and personal lyrical style. He performed all over the city and got his start on its subway platforms.
The drawing approach he started as a child grew into a very fun illustration style, both bold and colorful and at times almost musical. One can see his love for such artists as Keith Harring and Dr. Seuss. His illustrations are child like and very imaginative due to the fact that he''s been working on it since his childhood. Stefan went on to receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Illustration from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley College. He does freelance illustration and he really wants to push his artwork into the forum of children''s books. He performed with his old band Treehouse Union, where he was the predominant songwriter for about four years,but they have since split up.
Stefan has now emerged as an independent solo artist. He has recently released his first solo album entitled GREAT BIG SOMEWHERE. He has performed extensively all over the northeast and has performed before such well known national acts as Duke Robillard, Guster, and Moonboot Lover to name a few. He is ready to take his creative drive to the next level and to become a national act.
