[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.
