Stefan's first experience with music was learning the keyboard around age 4 and  went on to learn drums as a teenager and finally settled on the guitar as his primary instrument when he was 15. Stefan played in jam-bands with friends and loved rock music, being inspired to learn by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards and Jeff Beck to name but a few.

Stefan continued my musical development into adulthood, being fortunate enough to attend London Centre of Contemporary Music where he was lucky enough to study under excellent tutors including Andy Jones (Cliff Richard, Van Morrison), Ed Speight (Ian Drury) and Silas Maitland (Imelda May, Paloma Faith) amongst many others. He was proud to graduate with a 1st class degree in Music Performance and Production in 2020. During the course of his studies his taste in music broadened and he developed a real passion for Jazz and Soul. Stefan became comfortable playing in a range of genres and began to integrate more sophisticated voicing concepts and harmonically-informed vocabulary into his playing.

Since leaving university Stefan has continued developing musically, and has had the opportunity to take lessons with leading musicians Peter Bernstein (Jim Hall, Sonny Rollins, Larry Goldings, Brad Mehldau) and Carl Orr (Billy Cobham, Sting). Stefan has spent time as a member of London-based indie-rock originals act ‘FRANSIS’, and is very proud of their 2022 EP ‘Honeymoon’. Stefan began teaching in this same period and is thoroughly enjoying passing on his knowledge and experience to the next generation of musicians!
