Stephen Neil Edwards, better known by his stage nameSteve Edwards, is anEnglishhouse music singer and songwriter fromSheffield, England. He has collaborated with several house musicproducers.
During the 1990s, Edwards lent his collaborative efforts to Britishdeep house musicianCharles Webster, the most notable being "Future Love", a track released by Presence, one of Webster's pseudonyms. He started appearing as a featured artist on tracks by the Problem Kids.
However, Edwards' first mainstream breakthrough wasCassius' "The Sound of Violence". The track, in which he shares credits with the French duo, went to number one onBillboardHot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 2002.[1] This was followed up in 2003 by "Falling Star", a minor club hit produced by Starchaser. In 2005 Steve Edwards' collaboration with Swedish producerAxwell brought him fame once again on a Latin-flavoured house hit "Watch The Sunrise". The track reached #3 on the UK Dance Singles Chart, as well asBBC Radio 1 Dance Chart.
In 2006, he returned to radioplay, after writing and providing vocals forBob Sinclar's "World, Hold On". In this summer he also participated inFestivalbar 2006, an important music festival around the Italian squares.
In September 2006, Edwards released the single "Thru The Night". This was the first time he was credited as main artist, instead of featured artist. "Thru The Night" was produced and written together with fellow Sheffield resident, producer/guitarist Martin Smith - a long-standing collaborator with Steve Edwards. Together they have remixed and produced music for Bob Sinclar and many others. Steve has also co-produced the tracks "Fate" (with Starchaser) and "Walls of Science" (for singer Beth Wild). In February 2015 Melbourne duo, L'Tric, released their debut single titled "This Feeling" where Steve Edwards sang lead vocals.
