Stann is an alternative rock artist from Toronto, Canada.

Starting from the premise¹ that diversity is a strength for musical expression and that each song bears a unique style, the feel and the ambiance of his compositions are primary and supersede any constraints of a genre in his music. This has led to elements of metal and softer ballads being present in many compositions, as well as a wide range of instrumentation from acoustic, to heavy use of digital synthesizers and effects in his music.

²Stann grew up studying classical piano and progressed to a high level, even though he states in one interview that his heart wasn't always in it, feeling that sometimes the confines of the classical style left little room for his own expression. Although he admits that it provided a solid musical foundation to build from. Later in life he would quit his classical training in pursuit of finding his own sound and direction.

In 1997 He started looking for ways to pursue music in a professional manner. This brought him to music directing. ²His knowledge of music and talent for overseeing musical projects made him a good fit for this position. This led him to a wide range of experiences from choir direction to musical direction of various functions. ³Still unsatisfied at not being able to truly pursue his own style, he started writing. Over the next year he played various shows locally and smaller venues. This is when digital music took a major part in his performance. In order to recreate the songs he started using digital backups in sync with live guitar and live synthesizers and piano.
