For over 18 years, Stevie Hoang has been a quiet force in R&B, crafting soulful heartbreak ballads that evoke the golden era of the genre. From his humble beginnings in East London to amassing over 185 million YouTube views, Stevie’s journey is one of resilience, artistry, and staying true to his sound.
Stevie isn’t just an R&B artist; he’s a self-contained creative powerhouse. Writing, producing, and mixing every track himself, he’s the definition of a hands-on artist. “I’ve always believed in doing it all myself,” Stevie says. “It gives me the freedom to stay authentic and make music I truly believe in.” That authenticity has resonated with fans, allowing him to independently release 10 albums, a rare feat in today’s music landscape. His sound takes you back to the 90s and early 2000s, a seamless blend of Usher’s smooth falsettos and Ne-Yo’s storytelling finesse. With songs steeped in romance and heartbreak, his music has become the soundtrack for love in all its complexities.
Stevie’s latest release, Grown Ass Man, is a celebration of maturity and self-assuredness. “It’s about embracing getting older and championing mature guys that know how to treat a lady right,” Stevie explains. The track combines his signature R&B melodies with a fresh perspective on adulthood, striking a balance between nostalgia and growth. The accompanying music video is a sleek, minimalist affair. Shot in a studio warehouse, it features Stevie performing alongside a model and a Lamborghini, with lighting and performance taking center stage. “The concept was simple—we wanted the music and emotions to shine without overcomplicating it,” he shares.
Though he signed with Mercury Records in 2009, Stevie has spent most of his career as an independent artist, proving that major-label deals aren’t the only path to success. His YouTube channel, with over 150,000 subscribers, serves as a testament to his grassroots appeal and dedication to his craft. “I’m proud of what I’ve achieved independently,” Stevie says. “But I’m even more excited about what’s next.”
With Grown Ass Man set to release on December 19th, Stevie is poised to remind the world why his brand of timeless R&B deserves a spot in every playlist. Stevie’s music is available on all streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music.
