Stephan has been obsessed with music for as long as he can remember. From the first time he heard Billy Joel, the sharp punchlines of Beastie Boys, reggae’s laid-back rhythms, to the electric energy of a live show, music has shaped his life in every way. Music journalism isn’t just a gig—it’s a passion. Nothing makes him happier than putting deserving bands in front of bigger audiences, giving them the recognition they’ve earned. Whether he’s at a concert, digging into a new album, or growing The Reggae Plug, he’s always chasing that next great sound. When he’s not immersed in music, you’ll find him traveling, watching sports, or planning his dream restaurant—always with a soundtrack playing in the background.
