Bio

stan is the younger (half-)brother of howard. their mother is ciara levett, but stan's dad was called william, or will. he died when stan was very young, and stan doesn't really remember anything about him.

the education system didn't really agree with stan and he was diagnosed with ADHD as a child. he got in trouble a lot for being disruptive or talking in class, and not doing his work. however, he performed extremely well in music and drama.

he knew his friend kat ever since primary school, but they grew closer when they started doing music classes together in secondary school. stan was a bit of an outcast and mainly sat with his older brother and his friends in year 7, so he was glad to make a cool friend like kat, who was much more popular.

he joined a drama group at around 15, which is where he met rees. they performed in several amateur musical productions together, and even played javert (stan) and val jean (rees) in les miserables. realising they worked great together and both had an interest in music, he introduced rees to kat, and they formed their band, mudpuppy.

they all went to the same vocational college for music, and then university too.

during his time at university, he met christina, who he would become quite infatuated with. they dated for some time, and then christina became pregnant. they were both conflicted about whether or not to end the pregnancy, but ultimately decided to have the baby. their daughter, audrey, was born. christina died soon after, leaving stan a single dad. he and audrey moved in with his mum/audrey's nan.

years passed, and he, rees and kat all got "regular" jobs. still, the passion never died, and they eventually started making music together again. after some perseverance, the band started to make enough money that stan could find a place just for him and audrey.
