Stevie Culture
International Reggae artist Stevie Culture has been a singer and
entertainer since his early teens. Stevie was born in Kingston Jamaica
to Rastafarian parents. His Father was a guitar player and singer and
his love of music certainly rubbed off on Stevie. He began playing the
drums at age 12 and quickly became popular because of his musical
talent and positive attitude. By age 16, Stevie became well known and
would sing with leading sound systems and play and sing with bands all
across Jamaica.

Stevie’s strong spirituality and belief in those people willing to
make a difference is evident in his debut album “Top Class”. He speaks
of keeping life full of joy and helping the world’s youth to put down
guns, drop drugs and violence, and channel their energies in more life-
giving directions. The album is layered with positive and uplifting
messages and is widely considered an instant classic.

Stevie’s Message
As well as being a lifelong singer, Stevie has also always carried
with him his message. When asked what one thing he would tell his
fans, he responded in a heartbeat: “Hol' a joy!”. “Don’t let the
problem rule your life”, he says; “Don’t think of the problem. Think
of the solution. Just be happy about what you’re doing..”
