Ed Stean on SoundBetter

Hi I'm Ed, a passionate songwriter with a deep bariton voice, and song experience of more than 15 years. Ready for tuning your project next level! I'd love to offer you my lyrics-, harmony-, song development-, editing-, soundengenieering- & producing skills in many different genres, mostly popular orientated. Get your tune impactful!

With almost two decades of practice and over hundred written songs, I mastered the art of converting inspirations, feelings or experiences efficiently into complete, unique pieces of music.
I studied Jazz & Pop Vocals at the Austrian Anton Bruckner University, which enhanced my musical foundation and improved my vocal, improvisation, creativity, piano and rhythmical skills.

As an experienced performer, who lead, sang and played in more than a dozen bands, I know what it takes to get listeners fully attached to a song. (Same on records)
My base is in Linz, a cool cross-cultural - still small- town in austria. The focus of my work are catchy hooks, storytelling, groovy-rhyming lyrics & interesting harmonies/changes.

I m always highly motivated to collaborate and get amazing work out there!

Thanks for dropping by on my profile. I'll appreciate to get in touch with you on your project!

Ed

    I was looking for a sound loop that would act as background music for guided meditations that I need for my work. Stefan listened to me carefully to find out what I need and how it should sound. He immediately understood what was important to me and implemented it wonderfully. Thanks for that!
    Stefan is a really empathic artist. I am absolutely convinced of his work and I thank him from the bottom of my heart for his professional work. The next projects with him are already planned.

    Hiring Ed was a great choice!
    He worked extremly fast and did an awesome job with the advertisment jingle I needed urgently for a pitch presentation for Bank Austria.
    His catchy melodies and rhythms got straight into my ears in no second.
    Thanks a lot!

    Ed composed the music for the lyrics I wrote. I learned so much during the process and it was also super fun.
