It’s time to get to know Stéphan Forté, guitarist for Adagio! We set Stéphan 10 questions about his musical taste, influences and guilty pleasures.

How would you describe your taste in music?

Very eclectic, I like everything that moves me, based on emotions and sincere, no matter the genre.

Who do you consider to be your favourite band and why?

I cannot name just one band, but I would say Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin are among them.

Who is the best live band you’ve ever seen?

Aerosmith for the Get A Grip tour

What is the one song that you could listen to forever?

Chopin – Waltz n°7 in C#min op64 but it really depends on the interpretation and who’s playing it. I guess Yuja Wang‘s interpretation is one of my favorite

 What album, if any, was a turning point in your ‘musical life’ and why?

Queensryche – “Promised Land” because this is the album into which I’m locking myself into whenever I feel really down and need to isolate from outside to meet my feelings and make a point with myself.

In 3 words, what makes a good album or song?

Melody, Chords, Butterflies.

A festival or a gig? Why?

A gig for the sound conditions and a festival for the big wall of sound of the cheering crowd.

Who would be your 3 dream festival headliners?

Depeche Mode, Aerosmith and Sting.

Who are the best new band you’ve discovered lately that everyone should know about?

The Algorithm.

What band or artist is your secret, or not so secret, guilty pleasure?

Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera :).
Adagio‘s fifth album LIFE is set for a July 26th release. Check out Darkness Machine below;
