Arrow Stevie Hoang's new single 'No Coming Back'



Stevie Hoang's new single 'No Coming Back'

Up and coming rising Oriental R&B singer Stevie Hoang is currently touring with JLS, his brand new single - 'No Coming Back' is out on the 8th March 2010.

Born in Birmingham, Stevie Hoang moved to London at the age of 1. During his childhood he enjoyed casually playing the keyboard. Then at the age of 11 Stevie’s parents saw a glimpse of the musical talent within him and persuaded him to take piano lessons. His musical skills began to develop further and at school he acquired the nickname “The Jukebox” due to his talent in playing numerous songs.

After 5 years of piano lessons, Stevie’s interest in classical music began to diminish and he started to listen to R&B and Rap music; his favourites being Will Smith, Boyz 2 Men, Dru Hill and Joe. After obtaining an A* in GCSE music, Stevie decided to take an A level in Music Technology at a college in East London.

After gaining a reputation as a promising young producer Stevie, at the age of 19, was signed to the independent record label Happnin Records.This was the first time he was given the chance to work in a professional studio and use top of the range equipment. Upon leaving the company in 2004 Stevie set up his own studio in his house. It was at this time that he began to make his best music working with artists such as Kay B, Ghetto Luv and ultimately Unkle Jam from Virgin Records. Gradually Stevie’s vocal techniques, producing and song writing improved significantly that when he recorded his first demo, a cover of Mario’s ‘You Should Let Me Love You’, it received an incredible response from everyone that heard it. This motivated Stevie to start to write and produce his own songs.

In late 2006 Stevie joined the social networking site MySpace. Here he gained a huge following for his music and after the encouragement from his fans Stevie officially began to record his first album in April 2007. While recording his album Stevie took influences from his Chinese ancestry to create a successful blend with modern R&B. It has always been Stevie’s ambition to become the first Oriental R&B artist in the UK.

During this period his MySpace page was going from strength to strength and he was averaging over 5000 plays and 3000 new hits a day which propelled him to the top of the MySpace artist charts in both the UK and USA. He also began to appear on a number of other websites such as YouTube, where his fans would post their home made videos of his songs. Over time Stevie was attracting new fans of all races and ages. Stevie has been incredibly overwhelmed and shocked by the response to his music.

On December 11th 2007, Stevie Hoang’s eagerly anticipated debut album ‘This Is Me’ was released on his own label, Stevie Hoang Productions. In the first two months it went on to sell over 3000 units through his MySpace page alone.
