Biography
editStefano D'Amico was born in Turin in 1996. At the age of 6 he moved to Cisternino, a small town in Apulia by the sea. He started studying piano when he was 11 and only a year later he entered ‘N. Rota’ Conservatoire, in Monopoli. He continued his studies with Francesco Buccarella.[1] Some months later he wrote his first piano composition ‘Ora che noi’, which was performed at the year-end show and much appreciated. He then wrote other melodies which made him known to other musicians. In 2011 he became the keyboardist of an Apulian band with which he started to perform live and won a competition for new groups. At the beginning of 2020, while composing 'Luce soffusa', he came up with the idea of the album 'Tribute to the Earth'.[2][3] it wants to pay homage to the beauty of our planet, and raise awareness on important issues such as pollution and climate change. In 2022 he graduated in Film and Game Scoring at Film Scoring Academy of Europe, an academy founded by Andy Hill. As he declared, Philip Glass, Max Richter and Alexandre Desplat have been his biggest inspiration since his early studies.[4] In 2023, he received a scholarship from composer Jan Andrzej Paweł Kaczmarek to pursue advanced studies at the Film Scoring Academy of Europe. In 2024, he earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Music for Motion Pictures and Contemporary Media. [5] In March 2021, he has signed with Believe Music.[6]
