Stevie B (real name Steven Bernard Hill) is a African-American singer, songwriter, and record producer that was highly influential in the Latin freestyle and High-Energy, mostly from Miami and San Jose dance music scene of the late 1980s. Referred to by many as "The King of Freestyle", Stevie B is perhaps best-known for his 1990 number-one hit "Because I Love You (The Postman Song)".

Career

Born in Ft. Lauder dale, Florida, Stevie B worked a variety of jobs--from car washing to fast food--before gaining recognition for his 1987 national club smash "Party Your Body". It was also the title track of his 1988 debut LP, which eventually went gold due to the huge success of "Spring Love". In 1989, he had his first top 40 hits with "I Wanna Be the One," "In My Eyes," and "Love Me For Life." With his 1990 album, "Love & Emotion", he reached the height of his success, with the accompanying single "Because I Love You" enjoying four weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in December of 1990. He had two subsequent top 15 hits with "I'll Be by Your Side" and the title cut. However, with the subsequent rise of alternative rock, Stevie B's light dance-pop sound lost much of its initial mainstream appeal, and he never recaptured his earlier success. In 1998, "The Best of Stevie B" was released, highlighting the light dance-pop sound that marked the start of his career.

In 2007 Stevie B and Rapper Pitbull did a remake of his hit song "Spring Love" titled "Spring Love 2007". His latest collaboration is with newcomer The Chili Guy. The Chili Guy is perhaps best known from his appearances on the popular afternoon drive radio program "Toucher and Rich" (heard locally in Boston on 104.1 WBCN).

In 2008 Stevie B joins the digital revolution by releasing his newest single "Running For Miles" on his own digital download site ( [http://www.HotTunez.com] ).

Stevie B is currently in the studio recording a duet with Greek pop sensation Super Star G for her highly anticipated American debut, "Where the Gnomes Roam."

Stevie B continues to tour extensively and in July 2008 has released "Get The Party Started", a medium-tempo track that casts the artist in a contemporary light some 20 years after hitting the charts for the first time. "Get The Party Started" is stylistically comparable with the sound associated with artists Usher and Akon among others.

Stevie B is also an awarded producer. He has produced several albums for different kind of artist all over the world. One of the bands he has worked as a producer is a legendary, UK based reggae band The Pyramids (also known as Symarip).
