Stephen Simpson is a musician, beat-maker and producer, born in Huddersfield, UK but currently based in London, whose music combines hip hop, soul, reggae and electronica. For the last decade as both a studio session musician, beat maker, programmer, producer and more often as a live musician playing both Bass Guitar and Keyboards, the London-based musician has managed to carve out a successful long-term career.

In 2004 Simpson began his career as a keyboardist with the grammy-nominated artist Estelle, joining her on her 2005 European tour supporting John Legend. Moving to London in the summer of 2007 Simpson began working closely with Russian producer DJ Vadim with whom he formed a production duo "Butterfish Black" and a band "The Electric". After leaving the band in the winter of 2011, Simpson went on to work closely with numerous musical artists including Chipmunk, Liam Bailey, Robinn, Altrego, Natural Self and Hawkhouse before teaming up with Chesca Royalty in 2017 to work on several tracks on her "System Olympia" project.

Simpson's music fuses genres to create a digital-analog hybrid sound using various vintage synthesizers, drum machines and acoustic instruments to create dreamy textures.
