Stephan began singing at an early age, but he wasn’t the average kid. He didn’t sing just to draw attention to himself, he sang because he wanted to be heard. After his parents separated he moved from Portsmouth, VA to Jersey City, NJ then down to Henderson, TN where he was finally introduced to music. His mother is an extremely talented singer and his Great-Grandmother was a pianist. At a very young age he would sit and listen to the two of them sing and play together for hours at a time. Stephan never knew much about his father except for the fact that he was a member of a New Jersey based singing group called “Prime”. His father's life was cut short by an unfortunate industrial accident on September 15, 1998 when Stephan was just 12 years old. At the tender age of 12, being the older of 2 boys, he was forced to carry the torch that his father left behind. He wanted to keep his father’s spirit alive and the only way he knew how to do that was through music. At the age of 18, as a freshman in college, was re-introduced to music by his roommate/rapper FLO SHYSTA. He started recording featured tracks with FLO and other artists, only to branch out and finally record a few solo tracks of his own. Stephan currently attends Middle Tennessee State University and will graduate in the spring of 2009 with a degree in Computer Information Systems (focusing on Web Design or Project Mgmt). Even with the world as his oyster, the only thing he wants to do is music. Stephan is very determined and will continue to pursue his dreams as a solo r&b artist in order for his voice to be heard!!!
