Info for Legends, Myths and Lavender (Complete)

Stephan crafted Legends, Myths and Lavender over a transformative 26-day period during the winter of 2023. Trading Los Angeles for the South of France, he decamped to Brad Pitt & Damien Quintard’s Miraval Studios around his 50th birthday to completely immerse himself in the inspiring surroundings. Away from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan chaos, he focused solely on the creation of the music, which was almost entirely written and recorded on the spot.

Highlights on the new album include “A Daydream In Camelot,” "Lavender Fields," "The Wanderer," "Make-believe," "Communion” and more. Allowing himself and the piano space to simply be, Stephan made sure to preserve nuances such as the creaking of a pedal, tactile imprint on the keys, and his own breath.

The album’s title speaks to the scope of the record for Stephan. “My music tells stories,” he states. “I hope you return to my music—as if it’s an old friend. My intent for the music is to be truthful. I also hope it’s a comforting blanket on a rainy day for you,” he smiles.

Legends, Myths and Lavender is another milestone in Stephan Moccio’s extraordinary career. As a composer, songwriter, arranger, and producer, he has collaborated with the likes of Céline Dion (“A New Day Has Come”), co-wrote and produced “Wrecking Ball” for Miley Cyrus, and joined forces with The Weeknd for the RIAA diamond-certified “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey),” receiving an Academy® Award nomination and three GRAMMY® Award nominations. He’s also penned anthems for superstars including Andrea Bocelli, Avril Lavigne, Dua Lipa, James Blunt, Seal, and many more, garnering seven Billboard Hot 100 hits and 5 billion+ streams. Among his solo material, 2020’s Tales of Solace yielded “Fracture,” generating 100+ million Spotify streams. Meanwhile, the acclaimed follow-up Lionheart garnered a 2023 Juno Award nomination in the category of “Instrumental Album of the Year.”

Stephan Moccio
Four years ago, Stephan Moccio was struck by a flash of inspiration that set him on the path to fulfilling a lifelong dream. Recognized in 1988, this dream was to create an epic anthem for the Olympic games upon their return to Canada. Recently released nationwide, his 2010 Olympic theme “I Believe,” performed by the young and talented Nikki Yanofsky, invokes the captivating spirit of the games while bringing all Canadians together in support of a country destined to win at home.

Working alongside long-time friend and eventual collaborator, Alan Frew of Glass Tiger fame, Stephan has created a musical classic, representing the emotional, uplifting and empowering disposition of the Olympics. In addition to the official 2010 song, Stephan has reworked the theme for over 200 cues to be heard throughout CTV’s 16-day broadcast.

Stephan’s sophomore album is slated to be released in the Spring of 2010 and will follow the success of his debut album – a collection of 22 sophisticated and subtle solo piano compositions (EXPOSURE), which earned him accolades from around the world. BILLBOARD Magazine boldly stated, “Stephan Moccio’s piano acts as the poet’s pen,” which positioned Moccio as one of the world’s premier talents.

Stephan’s musical life began with piano lessons at the age of four. After an award-winning teen music career, he went on to complete an honours degree in composition and piano performance at the University of Western Ontario. He was offered a scholarship to the famed Berklee College of Music in Boston, but instead chose to focus on developing his professional career, signing a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing at the age of 22. Throughout his eight-year tenure at Sony/ATV, he matured as a songwriter, producer, arranger and performer, leaving in 2003 to form his own publishing company, Sing Little Penguin Inc.

Stephan has written songs for international superstars such as Céline Dion (“A New Day Has Come”), Sarah Brightman, Josh Groban, Olivia Newton-John and chanteuse Hayley Westenra.

With experience conducting the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra “I Believe” sessions, Stephan has begun to distinguish himself as a remarkably engaging international talent, bringing to life his outstanding work in all of his established roles of performer, arranger, composer, songwriter and producer.
