Profile Information
- About:
- Soul-boy Stee Downes has been involved in music from a young age playing bass, guitar and keys. Completing his studies in 2002, he left Dublin for the Netherlands where he was intent on pursuing his musical path.
While in Amsterdam he began to focus his attention on writing and production. London based outfit “Loose Ensemble” got their hands on one of his demo’s and asked him to feature on two tracks for the “Catalyst EP” which was released on Foundation records. Following on from this he later collaborated with Echoplex’s Ed Eustace to be part of Vinylvibes first release which received DJ support from people like Dom Servini, Rainer Truby and Michael Ruetten.
Inspired by the positive reaction Stee was determined to develop his vocal talents, combined with song-writing to create a unique sound. He began to build his repertoire and put together a live show, later supporting Amp Fiddler, Bugz in the attic, DJ Spinna and Money Mark.
In April 2008 he teamed up with old friend and musical counterpart Ishfaq to record his debut album “All in a day”. They settled into the studio in Croatia and recorded the album in two weeks. Coming from the same school of thought and heavily influenced by similar music they formed a solid partnership and played all the instruments on the project.
Being a DJ for over ten years Stee credits much of his influence to Soul, Jazz, Funk and Latin music hailing artists such as Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, George Benson and Dangelo as having the biggest impact on him in his early years.
He is now poised for the release of his debut album on Sonar Kollektiv and his full live show is set to drop in September 2008.
- Influences:
- Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Fat freddys drop, D’angelo, Letta Mbulu, Sonar Kollektiv, Ubiquity records, George Benson, Jazzanova.
