Stefanos

Stefanos is an Eritrean composer, guitarist and vocalist born and raised in Asmara, Eritrea. His early music influence mainly derives from the exciting and innovative western sound of the 70s and 80s, which can be felt in his music and singing.

The first musical instrument at around age 10 was the harmonica, which he later abandoned for a newly discovered love for the guitar which 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 and it stayed on until this day.

For most part of the nineties and up to the present time, Stefanos has been mainly involved in writing and recording music. Although he had recorded several singles in the 80s, the compilation of "ALWAYS" (recorded in New York in 2004) was his first complete Album. Conveying a romantic mood sustained by beautiful melodies, the CD is a collection of love songs that touch the heart and displays Stefanos’ flair for melody and expression, greatly enhanced by the colorful textures of his voice.

Following collections include various CDs:
- AMORE
- ROCK & REGGAE
- LOVE IS A PROMISE
- GIVE ME YOUR LOVE
The guitar is the instrument that Stefanos plays and truly loves. Also, a little piano as an additional instrument he uses in the constant quest for creativity and self-expression. 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.
