“In Australia, the Magnolia flower marks the beautiful transition of winter to spring, when nature begins to brighten up and flower blossoms start to colour the world around us. The Magnolia resembles a path out of pale blandness into fruitful brightness. This is my favourite and most creative season, and I wrote this song during those days; listening back now I can hear in what ways it inspired me to create these hopeful melodies while walking along the Melbourne streets filled with magnolia flowers.”

[ Artist Bio ]
Melbourne-based 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.
Stan’s debut album Jazz Sessions (2013) gained attention worldwide – 18M+ streams on Spotify alone.
