This is the story of a man from the shadows who, little by little, placed himself in the light to dazzle us with his talent. A hidden and gentle flame, of the kind that we take pleasure in contemplating on a winter's evening, accompanied by a melody played on the piano that would remind us of our deepest and simplest feelings.

Stephan Moccio makes no secret of the fact that he has never sought the glitter of the spotlight. He prefers the introspection and sensitivity that his instrument brings him. He says that it is like a therapy that finds its source in what surrounds him. Because what inspires him, what gives each of his notes their essence, is life in all its diversity, the human condition, the fears, joys and doubts of each of us.

If he creates as he breathes, he has long written for great artists such as Céline Dion, Miley Cyrus or The Weeknd. And while there was no doubt that this slender brunette with a crazy mane would make a career in music, no one could have predicted that he would become one of the most refined and sought-after pop composers on the planet.

But it would have been wrong for such an artist to remain solely in the service of others when he can melt hearts with his pure poetry. "I wanted to do things that I believed in 100% and that were authentically me [...] I wanted control of the art" he says. And the result is spectacular. Each of his albums brings back a nostalgic lull, a saving withdrawal, a forgotten tenderness. What he wants is to touch people, to bring out their emotions, and for that, his talent is unequalled.
