Stevan is wise beyond his years. His debut single, Timee, drips with 90’s R&B soul, but Stevan, at 18 years old, resides firmly in the present. Keeping his circle small and his influences wide Stevan is carving a space for himself alongside his Neo-funk contemporaries, Thundercat, Tyler, the Creator, Toro y Moi.

This morning NPR brought Toro y Moi’s Outer Peace to their Tiny Desk series, featuring stripped down and synth-free versions of “Ordinary Pleasure,” “New House,” “Freelance,” and “Laws of the Universe." These versions bring a rawness and a genuineness that can only be experienced in an intimate, live setting like Tiny Desk.
