Stefan D Lessard is an American musician, most famous as the bassist for the Dave Matthews Band.
After moving to Charlottesville, he enrolled in the Tandem Friends School, where he studied music under trumpeter John D'earth. D'earth recommended Lessard to Dave Matthews for inclusion in his new band, which was looking for a bassist. Lessard joined Dave Matthews Band just as it was forming, when he was sixteen years old. Due to his age, he sometimes had to sneak in the back door of the clubs where the band was playing.
Lessard completed his junior year of high school before dropping out in favor of music career, and was accepted at Richmond's Virginia Commonwealth University in their jazz studies program. He left after six weeks, when it became evident that he could not keep up with school work while continuing with the band.
In 2006, Lessard began maintaining a MySpace page called LowenDude. He also owns and maintains a blog at izstyle.com. During the 2007 European Tour, Lessard also began a video blog on YouTube.
On January 9, 2008, Lessard performed with members of Guster and Barenaked Ladies under the name Yukon Kornelius in a benefit concert sponsored by Okemo Mountain Resort, a ski resort in Vermont. Later that year, he co-wrote the original music for Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk.
