Biography
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 mother would play Classical, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Bay Area spawned icons Santana and Sly and the Family Stone in which his father, Freddie Stewart was a founding member. Even though he never acted on his musical expressions until high school, they were always in his head.
As a self taught Producer/Singer/Songwriter, Si'm Styles specializes in all aspects of music including: Hip-Hop, R&B, Dance, and Pop music. A few of Styles’ accolades include producing tracks featuring artists such as: Nelly, Too Short, Freeway, Mistah F.A.B. Bushwick Bill, E-40’s Captain Savem and most recently Pop artist Linda Kiraly.
Since then, Styles has assembled a talented team of writers to join him as part of his Spitfire Music Group team. The 1st release was a regional independent project in the form of a 3 member, male R&B group, “Entity” in which Styles was a member. The group received good radio support with their first two singles: “Fever” feat. Mistah F.A.B and S.E.X.
They performed in numerous venues opening for artists such as: Ciara, Ne-Yo, Raphael Saadiq, 112, EnVogue, Letoya Luckett, Dwayne Wiggins, Petey Pablo, Lil Scrappy, Bell Biv Devoe, Trina, Nina Sky, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Kid Capri, and Frankie Beverly.
Their title track “Locked Doors” was also picked up by VH1’s “Love Monkey”. Entity also co-wrote and is featured on the debut single from 15 year old Hip-Hop artist “YS” entitled “High School Wifey” (Sony / BMG) as well as the 2nd single featuring “Grand” on Da Sak Is Still Fatt Vol.2 (Bungalo / Universal).
Along the lines of his predecessors (such as Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, Rodney Jerkins, 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 name.
His Debut Solo Album is entitled “Napoleon Complex”.
The 1st single, “Just Like A Millionaire” is already slated to hit local radio Summer 2010.
