Stevie Fitz has had a passion for music since he can remember. From an early age, he has been able to appreciate many different genres of music, a practice he still adopts to this day. Stevie is grateful for his two music-loving sisters who were a major influence during his musical upbringing, exposing him to many diverse sounds during the 80’s and 90’s which is where his love for electronic music began.His clubbing home was the legendary Inn on the Park (affectionately known as "The Pav") that played host to Sasha, Paul Oakenfold, Parkes & Wilson and John Kelly who regularly graced the turntables of the 1500 capacity club during the early 90s. Mesmerized by the mixing talents of these DJs and the music they were playing, he soon turned his hands to DJ’ing. And it wasn't long before he was playing clubs around his home island of Jersey, including Raffles Dance City and The Venue, warming up for guest DJ's including Mike Cosford, Tom Wainwright and Trevor Rockliffe. A trip to Thailand at the end of 1996 saw him land a residency at Sante Fe on the beautiful island of Koh Samui, playing four times a week which in turn led to guest slots at the Backyard Club and infamous Full Moon Parties on Koh Phangan.Already the idea of producing music was firmly embedded in his mind and it wasn’t long after returning from Thailand, he began his production journey. In November 2001, he secured his first exclusive licencing agreement with Japanese publishers Toryumon under the alias B.O.L.T. He went on to secure many more licencing agreements with Toryumon under various solo and collaborative aliases including Tech House Project, The Loop Rebels, Ear 4 Vision, Stefano Kerami and C.O.U. Muzik, all of which had music licenced for either digital download, ringtones, website promotion or corporate advertising. The long-time collaboration with Sasha Le Monnier and James Leaman who make up the C.O.U. Muzik collective have had success with top digital labels Source of Gravity Digital, Gravitation, Bellarine, Ascension, Pangea, LuPS, Nightshade Music, Segment Records, Uxmal Records and Fiberlineaudio with remix work coming their way from various DJ/producers including Matt Rowan, Jeff Devas, Sean McClellan (KVK), Tim Mills, Darin Epsilon, Matias Popoff, Native, Jacco @ Work, Nosmo v Kris B, Maxi Valvona, The Chrono Logic and Lemonchill. In 2014, Stevie teamed up with Denis Smith to form the aptly named Smith & Fitz collaboration. Three independent releases through Rebeat and a remix for Jon Peacock (Elektrik Cat) on Segment records have catapulted them into the progressive limelight with more releases scheduled in the future.And he continues to have success in his own right with film, MTV and advertising placements together with original independent releases through Rebeat and on labels meformusic, InsomniaFM Abstracts, USB Digital, USB X-Files Records, LuPS, Fever Sound Records, Endemic Digital, Planet Ghost Music, Ear Time Records and Xport Music together with remixes for Stan Kolev, H@K, Simon Firth, Hibrid, Adamzmix, The High Rollers, Ivo Nikolov & Kris V, George Goldman & Vivian Lady and DJ Denise & Loryn.
