Stevie Williams

Stevie: “I was born in Salford UK and raised on dreams and fresh air!"

It all started when I was 5yrs old and I borrowed a bag of vinyl records. An old collection of mixed up 78s 33s and 45rpm which was fun changing the speeds! I was six years old when I started teaching myself to sing and play. Piano first then guitar and bass guitar and I was eight years old when I wrote my first song.

At about the same time I formed a duo with a school friend and we performed our first gig on my front door step! Shortly after I started experimenting with recording and tape looping, layering vocal harmonies and generally exploring the multi-track recording process. A big decision was to trade my bike for an electric guitar and an old record player which I used as a guitar amp until I blew all the electricity in the house!

From there my musical interest spiralled beautiful out of control and I discovered many other artists and styles in Pop, Rock & Roll, Jazz, Folk, Americana, Soul, Gospel, Country and more!

I’ve played bass for and recorded and toured with a large number of artist. Here are a few highlights:

Jim Mullen - John Cooper Clarke - Tanita Tikaram - Hamish Stuart (Average White Band) - Christy Moore - Ralph McTell - Hot House Flowers.

Support tours with: Frankie Beverly and Maze, Freddie Jackson, Joe Cocker, Sheryl Crow, Alexander O’Neal and more!

“My motivation? … good songwriting and the way music connects with people.”
