Recognised internationally as one of the leading guitarists in the genre, Joscho Stephan’s dazzling skill and innovative style make him a must-see artist. Influenced by the legendary Django Reinhardt and Chet Atkins, Stephan seamlessly blends slow, melodic jazz with the fast, spirited rhythms of gypsy music, creating a captivating auditory experience.

From a young age, Joscho Stephan showed prodigious talent on the guitar, beginning his journey at six under the tutelage of his father. His debut album earned the title of CD of the month from Guitar Player magazine, solidifying his reputation as a young virtuoso in the tradition of Reinhardt. Today, Stephan stands at the forefront of a new generation of guitarists, infusing Gypsy Swing with contemporary elements and offering fresh interpretations of classical, jazz, and pop standards.
