Stan Maris is a Belgian accordionist, composer and electronics artist based in Brussels.
Growing up listening to hiphop beats and alt-pop, combined with a background in jazz studies and improvised music, makes him a very unique artist, bringing the accordion to a new horizon.
Stan is a solo artist and leader of the bands Kin Gajo and Kreis.
Kin Gajo, selected by Lefto Early Bird for the Lefto Presents Jazz Cats Vol 3.”, is a hiphop-jazz-dub mutation trio. As winners of Gent Jazz Talent 2024, they were able to record their first full LP. This will be released beginning of 2026 with a Belgian Jazzlab tour, combining their music with elements of manga.
With his longest standing band, Kreis, he brings music that is delicate, lyrical and calming. Having released three albums, Askr, Embla and Fimbul, the band was able to make their own sound, playing in and outside of Belgium.
He’s also co-leading the bands Ocean Eddie and Sumooi and part of The Rising Moon, Suura, Freux, Noulet/Maris and others.
