[edit] Acting
Stevenson originally trained as an actor at RADA. Upon graduating in 2002, he appeared in a number of television and stage roles including Cambridge Spies and State Of Play. Most recently he toured both the UK and USA in Sir Peter Hall's 2003 & 2004 production of As You Like It, which included significant runs at both Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Los Angeles Music Center.
[edit] Early Song Writing
Having had a long passion of writing songs and playing them to his friends, Stevenson eventually started collaborating with John Perry in the middle of 2004. Culminating in a set of four well received acoustic demos, they began embarking on a series of low key gigs around London and Edinburgh before embarking on a recording an acoustic EP that saw a limited release and was sold at live concerts, before being made available via the iTunes Music Store.

Recording sessions took place in Stockholm and London, and was mastered by Ted Jenson at Sterling Sound, New York.
