Stephen Attard hails from a family with both sides having strong musical leanings. Stephen was born in Gozo, where he resides and leads quite an eventful life, given the relatively diminutive size and restricted social milieu of the island. He started his musical studies at the age of five, obtaining his ATCL, LRSM, and FTCL diplomas in pianoforte performing in 1981, 1982, and 1984 respectively. He has always been keen on composition, writing both classical and pop music. After graduating B.Ed (Hons) from the University of Malta in 1990, Stephen started a teaching career in Music, teaching full-time at the Gozo School of Music. Stephen is also the founder and present director of Fundazzjoni Arti Fontana, a foundation that tries to integrate the cultural domain with the spiritual realm. Stephen is a regular accompanist on the pianoforte to established singers and instrumentalists. Aspects of his musical agenda have been featured in Sicily, Italy, Germany, the U.K. Holland, Portugal, Poland, and Corsica.
