Bio
Stefanos is an Eritrean composer, guitarist and vocalist born and raised in Asmara, Eritrea. His early western music influence mainly derived from the exciting and innovative sound of the 70s and 80s, which can be felt in his music and singing. His first musical instrument at around age 10 was the harmonica, which he later abandoned for a newly discovered love for the guitar he bought at age 14. But even that passion was short lived, and both the instruments were forgotten for many years to come. It was not until much later in life, at age 25, that Stefanos' passion for music re-emerged in Kuwait, the place where most of his musical activity took place throughout the eighties.
For most part of the nineties Stefanos was mainly involved in writing music, and although he had recorded several singles in the past, the compilation of "Always" (recorded in New York in 2004) is his first complete Album. Setting a romantic mood sustained by beautiful melodies, the CD is a collection of love songs that touch the heart.
His soul stirring music encompasses a variety of styles, which include Pop, R&B, Afro-beat, and Reggae. Stefanos has the unique ability to play in a broad range of musical genres while retaining an individuality that is as soulful and singular as his singing.
