Born in Birmingham, England, Stewart entered the music business at a very early age, when his father (a pro drummer since the 60’s), started teaching him how to bash those pots and pans. With the help of supportive school teachers, Stewart completed his exams on the drums and was regularly playing for school events which helped in achieving top marks on all music subjects. Whilst still at school Stewart started to get an insight into the technical side of the industry. Aged 16 years, Stewart began working at one of Birmingham’s most respected recording and rehearsal studios where he would later become one of the resident live audio engineers and technicians. Once exposed to the workings of a modern day recording studio, Stewart went to college to study Professional sound / video and media and subsequently left 5 years later with a degree. Due to a close family friend Stewart was able to gain the best experience of his life at the age of 17, which was to be involved in the set up and production of the Phil Collins dance into the light show at the Birmingham NEC. Whilst studying at college and working at the studio in Birmingham, Stewart was then asked to become the audio engineer for one of Birmingham’s top tribute bands and immediately took the position and found himself working 5 to 6 nights a week and becoming known as a well respected engineer around the Midlands. Whilst being a freelance engineer and studying Stewart decided to invest into his own company “Stagesoundâ€, which was founded in May 1999. Stagesound has grown from strength to strength over the years and has provided sound reinforcement for a wide variety of touring artists from all over the UK. In early 2001 Stewart was then approached by the late Mick Owen (manager to Sir Bob Geldof) and was asked to join as Monitor engineer for his 2001 world tour and stayed till early 2003. After returning off tour with Bob Geldof, Stewart joined Europe’s largest casino (Star City – Birmingham) as Technical Manager, he then expanded Stagesound and is now providing a ‘one stop shop’ for all your production needs including an entertainment consultancy and is currently booking for many venues across Europe. Stewart is also currently touring with Jane McDonald and has his own show called Oceans Eleven!
