Stefano Cotugno

Stefano Cotugno is a multifaceted musician, songwriter, producer, mixing engineer, dancer, and actor from Mountainside, NJ. Starting his musical journey with voice and piano lessons at age six, he later added guitar, keytar, and drums to his repertoire. Stefano earned a degree in Music Business, Entrepreneurship, and Technology from the University of the Arts, fueling his passion for both the creative and technical sides of music.

Over the course of four EP releases, Stefano has explored a wide range of genres, blending Pop, EDM, and Alternative sounds. His debut EP, Memories, weaves together various subgenres of Pop to reflect the idea that memories can be perceived in different ways. His follow-up EP, Atlantis, merges pop and EDM, born during the pandemic as an emotional escape from the chaos of the outside world. Followed by his next EP, Mania Craze of Music, Stefano embraced his love of dance music and the club scene, crafting a fully EDM project that captures his obsession with the exhilarating energy of dance music. Stefano’s latest release, Meet Me By The Piano, shifts toward a more introspective style, blending Pop with elements of Alternative and Folk music. Written with a more poetic and vulnerable approach, it continues the conceptual storytelling of his earlier work, while delving deeper into personal emotion and reflection.

Inspired by life experiences, Stefano often writes from both personal and third-person perspectives, with three of the four EPs following a storyline structure. Beyond his own music, Stefano aspires to write and produce for other artists, while continuing to perform and tour, pushing the boundaries of sound and storytelling.

Aside from music, you can catch Stefano in films such as the new Mean Girls, It's About Friggin Time, and My Last Bestfriend.
