I’m Stiof and I’m an Irish musician based in Spain. This account comprises any demos (either original or covers) to keep them somewhere out there in the wide world so that I can revisit them in a studio setting.

I’m a multi-instrumentalist and I sing. My preferred instrument is harp but I also use guitar, piano, mandolin, kalimba, dulcimer and harmonica, but I’m not trained in most of them; I’d call myself a campfire instrumentalist for most of these. I just like using a variety of instrumentation. 

I like folk, rock, indie, and dream pop for the most part. These demos are in no way perfect (read: those messy vocals!), but I’m working on producing an album soon.

Thanks for stopping by.
Do chara, 
STIOF
