An Early Bird

An Early Bird is the alias of the Italian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Stefano De Stefano, aimed to craft heartfelt songs for bold-hearted people.

His songwriting is infused with crystal clear instrumentation and acoustic crispness, expressive lyrics and a wistful voice gliding effortlessly over the music. Think of Sufjan Stevens in a band with Phoenix playing beautiful and hook-laden anthems filled with emotion and a degree of endearing naivety.

Born in Southern Italy and moved to Milan, he has been first cutting his teeth with the folk rock band Pipers, who released 3 records catching the attention of NME, XFM, Balcony Tv, MTV and Virgin Radio. After some tours in Europe, sharing the stage with acts like The Charlatans, Starsailor, Ocean Colour Scene and Turin Brakes, he started performing as solo artist, also playing as support act for songwriters like Jack Savoretti, Joshua Radin and Rachel Sermanni.

As An Early Bird he shared Italian and European stages with Jake Bugg, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Piers Faccini, Christopher Paul Stelling, Dan Owen, Grant Lee Phillips, Stu Larsen and S. Carey.

After the first album Of Ghosts and Marvels, promoted with a 6 months tour across Europe, a new chapter is about the start with the new EP In Dephts, anticipated by the single Stick It Out and due for release on September 24th.
