Upcoming artist Stevie Howie is a Nashville native now living in Los Angeles, he has been playing the piano since age 5 and writing music since he was 6. Originally, Stevie was a student of classical music, but as he became older, he grew a passion for rock, R&B, blues, and pop. Drawing inspiration from Fleetwood Mac, John Mayer, and Paramore, Stevie wrote music throughout his childhood, with his sights set to inspire and affect the world through his creations. In September of 2021, Stevie posted a poll on his Instagram story asking his followers if they liked the band Nirvana. Upon overwhelming agreement, he decided to cover “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Stevie recorded and posted a video of his cover to his 25 followers on TikTok, gaining over 1 million views and 25,000 followers. After many requests, he finished the song, releasing a full-length version to streaming platforms on October 29, 2021. Coincidentally, this was the first time that Stevie had decided to fully lean into his intuition as an artist. As the inception of his artist project, (for which he writes, records, produces, mixes, and masters by himself), his first single, “shakes,” was released on December 3, 2021. His highly anticipated second single, “stalker,” was released on March 2, 2022. Following the release of his newest single “crusader,” he projects a sizzling sound that will certainly intrigue your attention. Starting with exhilarating instrumentation leading onto his bright and ear-catching vocals he captures the song entirely. Explaining the track a bit further it’s about how belief is one of his very favorite things about life, but it is incredibly dangerous. He thinks that the worst thing of all is when well-intentioned people choose to believe before understanding and nowhere does that happen more than religion. He wrote this song because he’s tired of ignorant bliss, he’s tired of hatred, and he’s tired of people justifying stupidity with religion. To the vocals and production, this track will surely have you jamming out. It would be just great for a late-night drive or hanging out with some friends. Go stream “crusader” and check out his discography which is filled with astounding music.
