Stefan Kovac

About

Stefan Kovac is always the last one awake, his fingers dancing over guitar strings, humming a tune that echoes through the apartment. He's got a knack for turning any room into a stage, and his laughter is as infectious as his habit of leaving socks everywhere.

Backstory

Three broken strings and a eviction notice changed everything the night Stefan discovered his grandfather's journals hidden inside the old guitar case. The leather-bound books revealed a secret: his grandfather hadn't been just a small-town mechanic, but a traveling musician who'd performed with jazz legends across Europe before World War II forced him into hiding. Stefan found himself inheriting not just 'Betsy' and her haunting melodies, but a musical legacy that had been deliberately buried for decades. When he finally made it to the city and landed at The Tipsy Tuner, he wasn't just another hopeful with a guitar—he was carrying forward songs that had survived wars, immigration, and family shame, even if he couldn't keep track of his socks to save his life.
