Born in Hafnarfjörður near the capital of Iceland, Reykjavík in 1957 Stefan started playing music at an early age. At first, he banged on the drums with a fierce interest in Latin music as well as jazz. As a teenager, he started studying the flute.
At about 17 he started playing the saxophone and has done that since. After various musical studies, amongst them studies with the legendary Icelandic tenor saxophonist Gunnar Ormslev, Stefan started writing music. His first albums were released with a band called Ljósin í bænum (City lights) a group of friends that Stefan got together to play his music. All in all Ljósin í bænum made two albums. The second one called Disco Frisco (a parody of the Disco era) became extremely popular as a funky disco single. After Ljósin í bænum Stefan did a stint with the band Tivoli, which released the very popular song (still today) Fallinn by Stefán.
In 1980 Stefan went to Berklee College Of Music USA, to study jazz music. After graduating from Berklee in 1983 Stefan worked as a professional musician full-time in Reykjavík, playing, composing, arranging, teaching, and raising a family. One boy and two girls.
Today Stefan is headmaster of Arbaer Music School, composer and as an arranger.
Stefan was selected composer of the year in the jazz and blues category at the Icelandic Music Awards in 2015.
His latest album: An Icelander at Alhambra Palace was voted the album of the year in the same category.
