Stan Forebee
Melbourne-based Dutch musician Stan Forebee creates beats by blending hip-hop, classical music, and jazz with electronic influences, with a focus on complex chord progressions and colourful melodies.
Born in The Netherlands as Bastiaan van der Vlist, music has always been at the center of his life. His first piano teacher was his father at 3 years old; a strong foundation on which he later developed a passion for jazz & hip hop around his teen years. Stan started making beats inspired by J Dilla & Flying Lotus, Bill Evans & Erroll Garner.
