Some of his successes to date include having radio play on BBC6 Music, BFBS Radio and being played in gas stations throughout Connecticut on the AMP Radio Network. Newman has also had an interview on Chichester (UK) local radio at SpiritFM.

Newman’s current album project “Single But Defective” has initially been offered as a free download in order to continue to spread the music far and wide internationally.

Newman's right-handed, and yet he plays guitar left-handed. Weird.

stu you sound angry. please do not break my humble heart because it loves you. i want you to know that you have to be fearless. people think that fearless means not to be afaid. but what it really means to me is that fearless means to be afraid but you do it anyway. you take your music and put it out there and you shove it in there face until they like it. start taking dj's out to lunch and sart pushing air play in exchange for free concert at a party or something start treating it like a business also not just an art. you are going to have to sell yourself so you can make it .if you push for air play at least 5 times a day or get friends to call and request to hear your music they have to play it. the more people will hear it and they hear it alot so then they start to sing along and think who is this guyi like his music it stuart newman and it will start to take off. start working it stu we know you have the talent but it takes a little more. if you do not just jump in and do it then it might not happen. but if you do jump in who knows. stop questioning yourself it leaves you wide open for suggestion and youll end up old and living alone with a house full of cats and possiably bitter. but if you just do it you will not have to wonder i wonder what it would have happened if i had done it. this way you will always know. doing something gets you a step closer, not doing gets you nowhere. so do something stu i want to know stu if you can deliver the goodies. a big kiss stu

hello handsome. i have to commend you in your unique approach to giving your cd away as a present to everyone. i think you have a fantastic idea. because i strongly believe that if we have a second chance to live and do things all over or again it would be definate that i would take another approach because if we don't we will end up with the same results. also because it is a tremendous thing to do my friend because i know the love that went into your art and time consuming to make your music and it should be rewarded. stay true to your faith because it still is not your time to fade. i know it is hard and i also know that alot of us might not make it but most of us did not do it for the fame we have other reasons. but you are on your way and if you make it just never forget the ones you left behind who were not fortunate enough to make it. by this i mean your fans because they are going to be the ones who are going to get you there. your an amazing musician. you have a beautiful mind. kiss stu.

yes i am getting interviews.but it is still slow i guess it is for alot of people but i should not complain. also if you are tempted to say something just say it babe. i am easy to please. i like what we share and as for you music you know whati feel and what it does for me. i think your amazing.don't think i am offended easily which is something you have never done and do not feel you have to walk on egg shells or candy coat anything for me. i like you just the way you are. as for boo it would be an intresting way of saying hello.. peace stu.a big kiss.

hi stu. i like your little simley faces.they are just so funny sometimes. on my last interview i actually said lol. then we could not stop laughing on the air. but i was caught off gaurd and i was with some friends at a bar and i was also so stupid. but i am famous for shitting the stick. i just might never learn stu. i will just go through life taking a beating. it is weird stu how we on occasion just say hello but rarely really talk. it is almost like if we ran into each other and just said hello. or if our friendship was just a pit stop. or both of us occasionaly running into each other and we exchange information but yet we are both on opposit sides of a wall and who knows maybe the stroll will come to and and i can see you face to face at the end of the wall and say boo. a big kiss stu.

hahaha . :) what is that. haha god stu i know sometimes we don't feel like doing much of anything but a hello could have been nice. i like your music alot i listened to it several times. i actually memorized your lyrics. i am also glad they are in english because i listen to my friends stuff and i like the music but do not understand the lyrics because i do nnot understand the language. then i get mad because i want to know what it means and i am to embarresed to ask them to translate them. but liked yours alot it is alot more mellow than what i am used to hearing. :( hahaha sorry hahaha

really ey what makes me happy is when i see real people doing things and dont care about how it should sound . think about if you place 8 people 8 different people in same room what do think its gonna be ?? its gonna fantastic work . but todays industry is such a ego mentality, I understand them they worked hard for get to were they are but the real art I mean real people understand the special people. im not sayin im special but im trying to find myself and do things i like . like cock food snowboarding listen to music go for a walk bla bla ... are you a happy guy ??? the people around you will also be happy its true =)
