MR.
STEVIE:
An
Ingenious
Music
Creator!!!
Story by
Abenaah
Ezrah/
Tell Us
Detroit
DETROIT
(Tell Us
Det) -
Formally
known as
Stevie
Soul,
now "Mr.
Stevie,"
there is
no
difference
in
delivery
nor
talent-
just a
simple
name
change.
If
you're
just now
getting
hip to
this
Vocal
Entertainer,
YES-Vocal
Entertainer,
Award-Winning
to be
exact,
you're
in for a
treat!
Having
an
infatuation
with
music at
an early
age, a
young
Mr.
Stevie
also
struggled
with his
speech
and
stuttering
was his
main
demon. A
stutter
is
described
as
speaking
in such
a way
that the
rhythm
is
interrupted
by
repetitions,
blocks
or
spasms
and as a
child
this can
be
extremely
difficult
to
overcome
only
because
of the
ignorance
to the
action(s).
Frustrated
with his
unsung
talents,
Mr.
Stevie
experimented
with
sounds
and
rhythmic
techniques
only to
draw
attention
away
from
what he
thought
was a
flaw.
Soon
realizing
that
during
his time
spent in
speech
therapy,
a new
discovery
would
lead him
into a
world of
exclusive-ingenious
creativity.
Just
like an
outline
for a
research
project,
or a
simple
cooking
recipe;
a task
will
only be
completed
if one
step is
taken at
a time.
As
Stevie
got
older,
he grew
more
patient
with
himself
each
day,
reciting
"step by
step"
and with
the
support
of his
family
he
overcame
his
obstacles.
"Layering
is how I
perceived
it,"
"taking
it line
by
line,"
says
Stevie,
as if he
never
knew
about
his
forthcoming
success.
"At
first it
wasn't
about
music or
the
discovery,
I just
wanted
to learn
how to
talk!" A
vulnerable
Stevie
says the
intent
was not
to be
different,
only to
be
accepted.
Stevie's
teenage
years
quickly
approached
and
suddenly
he was
known
for the
'kid who
beat
boxed.'
Still
tender
to his
discovery,
he
acknowledged
himself
to be
one of a
kind,
and grew
into the
artist
he is
today.
Mr.
Stevie
is
actively
engaged
in
Detroit's
ever
evolving
music
scene
and some
of his
upcoming
performances
include
The
Allied
Media
Conference
dated
for June
28, 2012
and The
Detroit
Design
Festival,
September
19,
2012.
