Scenes From A Velvet Room

Ontario-born Stephan Moccio has dedicated his career to composing blockbuster hits for the biggest names in pop music, with cuts for Celine Dion (A New Day Has Come), Miley Cyrus (Wrecking Ball), and fellow Canadian The Weeknd (Earned It). Before these stars came knocking, his keen sense of melody was honedsix nights a weekin the lush lobby of Torontos Four Seasons hotel.

It was in this Velvet Room that a young Moccio worked as house pianist, learning to read rooms, shape ambience, and interact with his audience. These experiences are revisited on Moccios fourth solo album for Decca Records, Scenes From a Velvet Room (June 26)a wistful, nostalgic and jazz-infused reflection on these formative years.
