About Me

My name is Stefan Abuan; my father is from Bauang, La Union, Philippines, and my mother is from Pennsylvania, USA. I play electric guitar, flavored by Funk, R&B, Soul, Blues, and Jazz. Funk/Soul music is my temple; I love to play funky music that compels people to dance. I love my family and my close friends.****(above) Stefan jammin' with Lonnie Williams Group (12-31-2008)*****
