About Me

Finland-based vocalist/songwriter Steven Stewart's day job is working for Nokia Music for the Nokia Music Store and as Music Supervisor for the Nokia Music Podcast as well as coordinating music tracks for various events and on-device content.
Steven has performed as a solo vocalist and lead singer in various pop, rock, Broadway, and Christian bands in the United States, Finland, Germany, and the UK. His songwriting for other artists have covered many varied genres including pop, rock, Eurovision, country, dance, Contemporary Christian (CCM), gospel, R&B, & more.Recently, Steven's cowrites have been featured on four best-selling Finland IDOLS finalist albums including Anna Abreu's double-platinum selling debut. (Yeah Anna!)
His song "WHY" (toivanen/stewart) sung by Geir Rönning was chosen to represent Finland in the 2005 Eurovision (ESC) contest in Kyiv and was performed on TV in over 40 countries to over 200 million viewers
Steven's new Contemporary Christian CD "BALANCE" is now available from most digital download stores, including:
Nokia Music Store (UK)

tidbitmusic.com (Autographed CDs also available)
Filled with intelligent and introspective piano-driven pop, this album is reminiscent of CCM artists Nichole Nordeman, Steven Curtis Chapman, Sara Groves, and Amy Grant. Although Steven sings the majority of the tracks, his use of guest vocalists in key songs is a refreshing choice that allows variety and keeps the focus on the music and the message. The album title is about the balance of vibey pop, joyful dance and heart-felt ballads to have something for almost everyone searching for inspiration
