Stephan Moccio Essentials

The multitalented Stephan Moccio is an acclaimed pianist, composer, producer, and arranger of hits for major names including Miley Cyrus (“Wrecking Ball”), Céline Dion (“A New Day Has Come”), The Weeknd (the Oscar-nominated Fifty Shades hit “Earned It”), and many more. That songwriting talent—and his classical background—informs Moccio’s solo piano work. Moccio is a cut above, with an unparalleled instinct for melody and a sophisticated harmonic palette, a powerful combination that runs particularly through Tales of Solace, his 2020 album which brought comfort in a pandemic world. All of Moccio’s carefully crafted pieces—from the soulful “David’s Whisper” to the wistful “Freddie’s Theme” and the warm-hearted dedication to his son, “Through Oscar’s Eyes”—are beautiful songs without words.
