Songwriter-musician-producer Stephan Moccio has found a fan in the real estate market, selling his contemporary-style home in Pacific Palisades for $8.5 million.

Set on just over an acre of grounds, the multilevel house draws the eye with its cascading rooms, strong horizontal lines and black plaster siding. Walls of floor-to-ceiling windows and bands of clerestories reinforce the modern design.

Inside, a spartan floor plan of more than 5,100 square feet features 100-year-old reclaimed oak floors, book-matched marble walls, an open-concept great room, four bedrooms and 4.25 bathrooms. In the master suite, there’s dressing room/walk-in closet and an egg-shaped soaking tub.

The home, built in 2017, creates additional space outdoors with a collection of decks, an al fresco dining area and a summer kitchen/bar. Mature trees and lawn fill out the grounds that extend up a small hillside.

Moccio bought the property five years ago, records show.

The Canadian songwriter and producer began his career as a session musician for Sony/ATV Publishing. While with Sony/ATV, he collaborated with artists such as fellow Canadians Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman and Josh Groban. He co-wrote Miley Cyrus’ 2013 hit single “Wrecking Ball.”

As a film composer, Moccio co-wrote and co-produced songs for the movie “Fifty Shades of Grey” and its soundtrack, “Earned It.” The accomplished pianist has also released several solo albums, including “Elements” in 2012.
