As a kid in suburbia, Stuart was trapped and forced to listen to AM radio. Had it not been for his college roommate Dirk, he would have withered and died in a wedding band. You gotta love Stuart and his great music!
Dirk introduced Stuart to David Sylvian, Eddie Palmieri, XTC and Jobim. Year after year these new rhythms, chords and harmonies seeped into Stuart's brain and were eventually released through his songwriting.He then realized that all of those classic songs that he'd been trying to deny had one important thing in common: good songwriting. He's come full circle now that he write scores for film and television. His music may have a cool rhythm or new combination of instruments, but it will always have the elements of good songwriting: a satisfying combination of the known and the unknown.
