“Hideaway” Is the Stefano May’s Ode to Connection and Human Resilience

Italian-born, Miami-based singer-songwriter and piano prodigy Stefano May has given us a moving single: "Hideaway." Inspired by a transformative encounter with a homeless man in Tijuana, Mexico, Stefano weaves a compelling narrative that transcends the limits of circumstance and celebrates the enduring strength of the human spirit.

The lyrics of "Hideaway" resonate with emotion and introspection. Stefano's skillful narration captures the essence of the connection he forged with the homeless man, exploring themes related to truth, faith, and resilience.

Stefano May's voice conveys the depth of emotion embedded in the lyrics. His voice, rich in soulful nuances, brings the verses to life, making each word resonate with authenticity. The musical arrangement beautifully complements the lyrical narrative, with a combination of piano melodies and subtle electronic elements enhancing the emotional impact of the song.

2019 marked the beginning of Stefano’s solo project when he began to collaborate with the famous producer Chico Bennett who has already worked with established artists such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, The Killers, and Prince.

His debut single, “Prayer,” highlights Stefano’s warm, confessional voice. The quality of his voice glides with memorable melodies over the intimate piano, while the moving lyrics detail the act of loving again after hardship and disconnection.

This performance earned him comparisons to Sam Smith, Andrea Bocelli, and Michael Bublé, so “Prayer” marked a stylish and exciting debut for this rising generational artist.

"Hideaway" is not simply a song; It is a heartfelt tribute to the shared human experience. Stefano May's ability to turn a personal encounter into such a reflective song deserves a separate spot as a testament to his skill as a composer and the profound impact that music can have.
