Steven Michael Stefanello, AKA Stefanello, was born on 3/6/1991 to Carmine Stefanello (Father) and Karen Stefanello (Mother) in Long Island, New York. He is the middle of 2 siblings one (older brother) Robert Stefanello and a (younger brother) Peter Stefanello. Now residing in Atlanta, GA, however, he grew up on the urban streets of Central Islip, where he was influenced by the street lifestyle, ultimately leading to him dropping out of high school in 2011. He moved to Atlanta, Ga, in 2007 attending both Dunwoody and Sequoyah High Schools due to a change of position in his father’s job. Early on, Stefanello was primarily into rock music, but in his middle school years, he became interested in Hip Hop. His widespread taste in music combines for a unique depth of wordplay with a natural gift for storytelling. After moving to Atlanta, Georgia, in 2007, he started recording music after first being introduced to the mainstream studio life of one of his classmates in high school. Being impressed by how his first song sounded and getting the support from his friends and family, he invested in studio equipment. Age 16, Stefanello knew that he wanted to pursue music as a career, teaching himself to write, record and mix his own music. Late 2013, he and a childhood friend released a joint mixtape entitled Cashmere Thoughts and Silk Dreams. This was followed up with a solo mixtape entitled Cabernet Sauvignon late 2014 which is still available online. In 2015, he joined the LTP INC family with label mates SR.Gent and CashOnAble. He has recently finished his 3rd mixtape entitled Mr. Kemotherapeutic, released by the summer of 2016, which will be the final mixtape before his mainstream debut studio album.
