Considered one of the best audio engineers in the Caribbean by many artists and producers, Steven Stanley has recorded, mixed and sometimes produced for acts including Black Uhuru, The B-52’s, Grace Jones, Shabba Ranks, Gwen Guthrie and Sean Paul, to name a few.
From a studio in Nassau, Bahamas called Compass Point—where he was an integral part of the internationally influential house production band Compass Point All Stars as well as the genre-blurring Tom Tom Club—Steven was central to a movement that had a tremendous, yet under-appreciated, impact on pop music in the 80’s and beyond.
Working as a musician, co-producer and audio engineer on the Tom Tom Club’s self-titled debut album, they gave the world “Genius Of Love,” a heavily sampled songs that ended up being the foundation of “Fantasy,” the mega-hit by Mariah Carey, as well as “Return of the Mack” by Mark Morrison.
