Urban music may have never found it’s way into Gold Coast Nightclubs without the influence of Stevie Z.
Bold as it may seem, Stevie’s experience as a local tastemaker is well documented, beginning with The Pure Playaz & Notorious the Gold Coast’s first hip hop radio shows.
Within months of their debut, Stevie’s listenership swelled to over 20,000 punters, It wasn’t long before Stevie’s popularity spilled over to the clubs, with every venue wanting a authentic taste of Hip Hip & RnB.
Finding a residency at the Drink Nightclub, Stevie quickly established his own club night – Notorious – the Gold Coast’s first dedicated R&B club night.
Never one to settle, Stevie took his talents on the road, rocking dance floors from Brisbane to Bendigo.
Eventually, the travel bug got the best of him, and in 2008 he embarked on a world tour – of sorts. Backpacking across Europe and The United States, Stevie performed at venues in every city he stopped, culminating in a main stage set at The Cat House in Vegas’ famed LUXOR Casino.
Finding influence in every corner of the globe, Stevie’s musical taste has expanded to include all party starting genres known to man. A typical set sees Stevie running through styles like a minefield, jumping from hip-hop to electro, over to pop and everything between.
In a decade long career, Stevie has shared the stage and airwaves with almost every conceivable RnB star like Salt n Pepa, Ice Cube, Ja Rule, Usher, Missy Elliot, 50 Cent & Roger Sanchez.
And after all this, Stevie’s passion for discovering and sharing the latest music with his audience still remains the same – whether it’s on the air or on the stage.
