I moved to the U.S. in January of 1996 after having lived in South Africa for the first 16 years of my life.  After graduating with a masters degree in music composition, I travelled the country and finally settled in Minneapolis, MN where I am currently freelancing as an artist.

I’ve had the joy of working with many creatives over the last few years, including actors, musicians, composers, recording artists, models and visual artists.  As an actor, I’ve been featured in independent short-films and series.  I love working on independent films and am always ready for the next big adventure.

2 of my big passions are music and art.  I play piano and sing, mostly jazz and other similar pop-style music.  As far as my compositions go, I really enjoy writing music for soundtracks and whatever random else strikes my interest.  I draw most of my inspiration from emotion, whatever they may be.  My passion with art is with leather.  I enjoy tooling and sewing leather bracelets and bags.  The patterns I tool are all custom heraldic themes.  Feel free to check out my work at http://leather.stephanrocks.com.

Thanks for reading this – I will be adding to this as time allows.
