DAVE STEWART (Composer/Songwriter) is one of the most respected and accomplished talents in the music industry today. A prodigious producer of music, film and photography, he has an established career that spans more than 25 years, and has sold more than 40 million albums with Eurythmics' partner Annie Lennox. The duo was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1999 Brits, and later that year, embarked upon a world tour, donating the proceeds to Amnesty International and Greenpeace.
Stewart has written numerous songs with several other major artists, including Bono, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Lou Reed, Al Green, Bryan Ferry and Shakira. He recently co-wrote the popular single “Underneath It All,” with Gwen Stefani of No Doubt, and wrote tracks for Anastacia's self-titled European album, which has sold more than two million copies. Considered one of the pop world's greatest guitar players, he has shared the stage with everybody from B.B. King, Eric Clapton and Bruce Springsteen to Bob Dylan.
Stewart is also known as one of the most prestigious British record producers, working with the biggest names in the industry worldwide. He has won Best Producer four times, as well as numerous Grammys, MTV and Best British Songwriter awards. Stewart's new joint venture with Jimmy Iovine/ Interscope Records, Weapons of Mass Entertainment, is the label for emerging artists Carina Round, Abdel Wright and The Davey Brothers.
A highly regarded filmmaker, Stewart has scored films for directors such as Robert Altman, Paul Verhoeven and Ted Demme, to name a few. In addition to writing and producing (along with Mick Jagger) five songs and the score for “Alfie,” Stewart wrote and produced the title songs for many hit movies, including “1984,” “Ruthless People,” “Scrooged” and “Around the World in 80 Days.” He also produced the award-winning documentary “Deep Blues,” directed many music videos and wrote numerous film scripts, including his first feature, “Honest,” which premiered at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.
In 2003, Stewart established The Hospital, a state-of-the-art, multimedia creative center in London's Covent Garden, with Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.
