Hailing from the border of South East London in the depths of Lewisham, growing up on the borders of Kent Stef Taylor began writing songs at the start of lockdown. Without being shut off from the outside world, he admits; he would never have started to release his own music.

Earning his psychology degree, Stef currently works as a primary school teacher. His true passion, alongside working with young minds, has always lied in music.

Stefs blend of soulful pop derives from a background of his eclectic taste, from The Beatles to Buddy Holly to Carole King. The classic approach to Stef's songwriting is plain to hear, and these prolific artisans of the craft have clearly had an influence upon his works. The music centres around Taylors versatile vocals, which boast a range likened to the rich baritone vocals of Sam Fender to the supple falsetto of Justin Vernon.

Having released four singles to date, Stef has much new music to come throughout 2021 set to take him right through the summer. He will take these songs on the road with him to perform to all those who will listen. It's going to be his breakout year and he is ready to take it by the horns.

Keith Sweat is the undisputed King of New Jack Swing, the hugely popular and influential merging of melodic R&B with hip-hop’s rhythms and production techniques. Signed to Elektra in 1987, the Harlem-born singer/songwriter/producer released his debut album, Make It Last Forever, to instant acclaim and RIAA three-times platinum certification. Highlighted by the #1 R&B/Hip-Hop hit, “I Want Her,” the album reached #1 on Billboard’s “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” chart – the first of five consecutive albums to do so.

A remarkably prolific artist, Sweat was unstoppable as the ‘90s got underway, dominating the “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Singles” chart with such #1 singles as “Make You Sweat,” “I’ll Give All My Love To You,” and “Keep It Comin’.” As if all that weren’t enough, Sweat discovered the Atlanta-based vocal quintet Silk, for whom he co-wrote and co-produced “Freak Me,” which hit #1 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” in May 1993.

1996 proved a banner year, with the release of Sweat’s self-titled, four-times platinum-certified fifth album. Keith Sweat saw the vocalist joined by a number of guests, including soul legend Ron Isley and his great friend Gerald Levert, with whom he’d later form the supergroup LSG alongside Johnny Gill. What’s more, the album featured Sweat’s biggest crossover hits to date in the platinum-certified, R&B/Hip-Hop #1s, “Nobody (Feat. Athena Cage)” and “Twisted (Feat. Pretty Russ & Kut Klose).”

With a seemingly inexhaustible flow of fresh songs, Sweat remains among the most popular and productive superstars in modern R&B, his unique style and smooth sound still setting the gold standard for urban contemporary soul.
