Steve Appleton
Dirty Funk

RCA

WE SAY

19 year old singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Steve Appleton releases this, his debut single, next month. It's a charming introduction to his slickly-blended funk pop sound. Dirty Funk has debuted on Radio 1’s Switch show, and has been added to Capital, Galaxy Network and many regional playlists. There's plenty of online and TV activity for his video, with over 50k hits on his YouTube video in just two weeks. Early press has been plentiful (Guardian, Sugar, News of the World, Daily Star) and he will front a major Europe-wide ad campaign for Smart Car. His album comes out on August 3, before which he will perform at Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park. JF. Video.
