Romeo Stodart
Inspired by artists such as The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Kinks, Romeo started playing music at a young age and in 2002 formed The Magic Numbers with his sister, bassist and vocalist Michele Stodart, and two school friends, drummer Sean Gannon and keyboardist Angela Gannon.
The band’s distinctive sound, which blends indie rock, folk and pop influences, quickly gained attention, and they signed with Heavenly Records in 2004.
Emotional depth, catchy melodies and intricate harmonies
Their self-titled debut album, released in 2005, was a critical and commercial success, topping the UK album charts and earning them a Mercury Prize nomination. Stodart’s songwriting on the album was praised for its emotional depth, catchy melodies and intricate harmonies, with highlights including Love Me Like You, Forever Lost, and I See You, You See Me.
As well as releasing several albums with the Band, in 2011 Romeo released his debut album The Moon and You, which showcased a more introspective and acoustic side.
