Details:
Drew Stiles is a singer/songwriter residing in Los Angeles, New York and Switzerland. His newly released debut album is reminiscent of the Beatles, Beck and Elliott Smith, and explores the mix of the many sides of the human experience.
Stiles grew up in a musical family -- his father played trumpet with the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown, Peggy Lee, Tony Bennet, etc. As a child, Stiles often accompanied his Dad to recording sessions and concerts, quietly observing and absorbing, which indelibly emblazoned him with an unconscious understanding of music.
With instruments lying around the house, Drew taught himself guitar, bass and drums by playing along to his favorite bands. He considers his talents a sort of accident, as he never intended to ''become'' a musician. As a kid who felt alienated from the race to which he supposedly belonged, music was his primary connection with the humanity. In his words, Stiles says, ‘Music saved my ass. Music and my dog.’
He started his first rock band, Yummy, which became a fixture in the New York music scene, headlining gigs at Wetlands, Webster Hall, CBGB''s and Brownies. As the singer, songwriter and leader of Yummy, the experiences helped Drew’s talents flourish, culminating in Stiles’s writing and producing Yummy''s debut album, Eleganté, which was released on an indie label.
With a DIY attitude, the album was met with rave reviews and garnered the attention of filmmakers, TV producers and advertising execs. Creative contributions and collaborations followed, including a Panasonic TV commercial and print ad campaign, film scores and performances with World Wrestling Entertainment.
Eventually, Stiles began to evolve in a new direction creatively. A softer style of songs began to appear - intimate and sparse - inspiring the creation of his first solo album, which was recorded on a portable 4-track while couch-surfing in Los Angeles and New York.
Drew Stiles'' self-titled debut is direct, delicate and raw - sad and joyous, hopeful and jaded, playful at times, but serious as fuck. It is music from a person with songs floating around in his head, songs about being a human in this wacky world, laid down as purely as possible.
So now, with your permission, Drew Stiles gon’ bust you up with his soft-ass love.
