Stephen has 4 college degrees in music, including a masters of music composition degree from Mannes School of Music in New York City, and a doctorate degree in music composition from the University of Toronto. My research for my doctoral degree was focused on defining "atmospheric music" while also cultivating my own compositional style of music that incorporates many different musical influences. His thesis on defining atmospheric music was also approved by Donnacha Dennehy of Princeton University. Stephen has cultivated a musical style and studied this phenomenon know as atmospheric music for an over a decade.
