Details:
I was born in Paris. My mother was Swedish but she had lived in Uganda and America. My father was Moroccan, he was a physician and he played the guitar. Soon I started singing in Spanish and English with my little brother. In high school I took Italian, my hair turned black, I started playing the straight horn and I grew a beard.
There were a few girls who liked me but I just didn't know. I roamed suburban streets at night with Simon and Sam and only drank coffee. I also watched a lot of television and fought for the remote with my little sister.
Then I went to New York City on my own, talked to strangers, heard Ish Marquez sing, and learned about people and things. I quit reading and started making a living out of writing songs and playing shows.
One morning in 2006 I had a beer with my friend Dominic in Berlin and he suggested that I call myself Stan: I immediately thought that was a very good idea. Europe was still a rather free country, you could do whatever you wanted.
