After Moccio’s enormous success in the pop world and as a solo artist with over 400 million streams, “Fireflies” and Lionheart find the classically-trained Canadian virtuoso returning to his music roots on the piano. A cathartic response to coping with painful life changes, Moccio spent weeks alone at the piano in his Laurel Canyon home studio and emerged with the purest manifestation of his musical vision and self-expression to date. The fourteen tracks on Lionheartpositively radiate with sophistication, and stand as the masterful pinnacle of his ultra-vivid imagination and musicianship.
In his expression of complex and nuanced emotions through melody alone, Stephan Moccio has proven to possess a “rare gift for delivering emotionally charged tales of love, loss and hope without words” (Billboard). Following seven hits on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, three Grammy nominations and an Oscar nod, Lionheart affirms Moccio as a handcrafting melodist and singular force who’s redefining the possibilities of piano music by adding an entirely new urgency to the time-honored genre.
