STEPHAN ALTMAN

Uncompromising creative powerhouse; conscientious husband, keen local community leader; great footballer, good tipper; and, of course, modest... are just some of the phrases people use to describe Steph.

Since arriving from London in 2002 and joining with Michael Frick to build Mophonics, Steph has written film scores, produced artists, and written music for many, many commercials. And today, Steph creatively oversees most of the music that leaves the studios under the name Mophonics.

He is loved by animals and children.
