Across Age Ranges, Beyond Racial & Religious Boundaries, and Regardless of Financial Status … Music Lives …and so does Si’m Styles.
Coming from one family of artists & another family of musicians, it was inevitable that Simon Stewart aka Si’m Styles follow suit. Born in Oakland, California, the Bay Area has always been his home. From a young age he was exposed to many styles of music as his single mother would play him Classical, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, and Bay Area spawned Hall of Famers Santana and Sly and the Family Stone in which his father, Freddie Stewart was a founding member.
Now as a self taught Producer I Singer I Songwriter, Si’m Styles specializes in all aspects of music including: Hip-Hop, R&B, and Pop. His sound is the melting pot of his LIFE. “I trans/ate my life into music being influenced by everything around me (my multi-cultural family, friends, neighborhoods, loves, travels, triumphs and heartaches) all of which are so diverse and that makes my music diverse as well”.
Before his solo mission, Styles assembled a talented team of writers and singers to join him as part of his Spitfire Music Group team. His 1st project came in the form of a 3 member, male R&B group, “Entity” in which Styles was a member and the group’s producer. He credits his experience in the group to his now knowledge of harmony and vocal arranging.
Since his start, Si’m Styles has toured endless CLUB VENUES & ARENAS including:
- The HP Pavilion, San Jose CA
- The Kaiser Convention Center, Oakland CA
- The Chronicle Pavilion, Concord CA
- The Expo Center, San Mateo CA
- Coca-Cola New Flava Tour, CA
- Magic Show, Las Vegas NV
- Urban Music Convention, San Francisco & Palm Springs
- Bayou Classic, New Orleans LA
- Cinespace, Hollywood CA
- The Key Club, Hollywood CA
- Libertine on Sunset, Hollywood CA
- Gotham City @ The Arena, Hollywood CA
He has placements with MTV I VH1 as well as a list of Independent and Major productions including Sony I BMG, Priority I EMI, Jive and Bungalo I Universal.
He has performed along side artists such as: Ciara, Ne-Yo, Raphael Saadiq, 112, EnVogue, Letoya Luckett, Tony Toni Tone, Lloyd, Petey Pablo, Lil Scrappy, Bell Biv Devoe, Trina, Nina Sky, Kid Capri, Frankie Beverly, and Too Short.
Along the same lines as his predecessors (such as Pharrell Williams, Kanye West. and R.Kelly) who embodied the complete package of Producer, Artist & Songwriter … Si’m Styles is definitely next up to create his own lane and solidify his spot. He is set to release his “I AM POP” Mixtape [ 4th quarler 2011 ] Followed by his Debut Solo Album, entitled “Napoleon Complex”. The 1st single. “Just Like A Millionaire” is a positive, commercial record that represents the new face of POP culture.
