DTP's Steph Jones At My Spot!

It's a bird. It's a plane. No it's Steph Jones chillin' with Red today. Call him "The International Superstar". Call him "The International Model". Call him "The Bad Ass Singer". I call him "Mr. Cool", but he said no, call him "Mr. Ordinary". So I said "Mr. Ordinary let's talk some music" and then he was like "Whussup sir" and then I was like "Cool" and he was like "I will def... get to this tonight"...and the rest is celebrity history.

Steph is an energetic, fun, but serious artist. He has always had the gift of song in him "...trying to do music and modeling at the same time, and modeling just took off". It's difficult to believe that this high profile "alien" is sooo down-to-earth. Since he signed with Disturbing The Peace (DTP) with my boy Ludacris, the world has taken notice. But, for us true fans that listened to him grow these past few years, we know it was slow rise to the top. Ok, ok, the interview...


Red: What are you doing right now?

Steph: I love people watching at Starbucks, popping bubble wrap, extreme sports, paint balling and a few million other things, I'm like a big kid.

Red: (Laughing) So what are you doing musically with yourself?

Steph: I am working on several movie soundtracks, which I cant really discuss right now. I worked with Jessie McCartney, Jordin Sparks, Chingy, B.O.B, Blake Lewis and a few up and comers as far as writing goes.

Red: Can we hear some samples?

Steph: Yes. My new website will be up in the next couple of weeks at http://www.stephjonesgalaxy.com/

Red: Jeez how do I get there? I mean you are dropping some big names...

Steph: Just do your best to make music from your heart and soul. Your soul never lies.

Red: Your creative process... do you have like a ritual or structured way of approaching a song?

Steph: It's a bit unorthodox because I dont really have a set creative process. It all comes from inspiration and I'm inspired by life...

Red: And women... so how did you get your start?

Steph: When I sang "Tears In Heaven" by Eric Clapton at my 12th grade graduation and how it made everyone cry.

Red: Influences? Name who really had an effect on Mr. Ordinary...

Steph: My mom and music in general.

Red: So Mom had a big influence... does she help keep you focused?

Steph: Goals like buying my mom her dream house and being a part of a young generation that has content of subtance to offer the world.

Red: For those that don't know, why do they call my main man Steph the "Mo' City Alien"?

Steph: I was born in Houston and raised in Missouri City, Texas.

Red: Thanks for chillin with me man. So, where can we find your music?

Steph: Well right now you can find it on Myspace www.myspace.com/stephjones2, www.youtube.com/mocityalien and pretty soon I will have some stuff up on iTunes. I gotta run now but def thanks for the interest and support sir...
