After completing a high-school education at the Stockholm music school Södra Latin, Swedish producer Peter Cartriers heard of Stephens talent in 1995 and invited him to his studio in Stockholm where they made a demo that first attracted the attention of a Swedish record label and then the UK major label Parlophone/EMI music as well as Priority records in the US.
Stephen wrote and Peter produced Stephens first critically acclaimed and 5 times grammy nominated album Alone(the album was re-mixed and re-named "Spirit Tales for his UK and US release) and Stephen Simmonds had his breakthrough in 1997 with the massive radiohit Tears Never Dry a duett with Swedish superstar Lisa Nilsson.
Since then his talent has brought him to the US and the UK where he has collaborated with renowned artists such as Raphael Saadiq, Masters at Work and Mica Paris.
His US release "Spirit Tales" was highly recommended by Prince and the New Power Generation on their official website.
He has performed for Stevie Wonder and Amnesty and he is the only Swedish artist who has been reviewed in the Quincy Jones founded Soul and R&B bible Vibe Magazine.

There comes a time when we hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
and it's time to lend a hand to life
There greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
it's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
Hello Stephen. Kim previously mentioned you working w/ the R&B/soul artist Maxwell but another artist (well artists) you may want to try hooking up with is Mint Condition. I don't know if you have heard of them but they have been around for sometime and they are more of a live performance band than a commercial. Just a suggestion...ONE LUV T.T.
