Jazz-pop perfection somewhere between Joni Mitchell, Feist and St Vincent, Stevie Toddler’s playful bass lines and lulling vocal melodies float her gracefully to the top echelons of Bristol’s scene.

​

Bass player/ songwriter Stevie Toddler blends a spectrum of sound worlds that she's occupied as a bassist, including alt-pop, jazz, post punk and classical music. Balancing a deep admiration for songwriters such as Joni, Feist and Dusty Springfield with a fascination for masters of large-then-small dynamics such as Pixies, Dirty Projectors and St Vincent, the Bristol (UK) based artist started her musical journey as a double bassist in orchestras, but later found her own voice writing songs on bass guitar.

 

She has since released 2 albums of original material which recieve continued support from BBC radio and gained her performance opportunities alongside Nick Mulvey, This is the Kit and Alabaster DePlume. She has also had performance opportunities at many major festivals, including Glastonbury, Fusion (Germany), Shambala and Greenman.

 

“Love this song, love the way it’s produced. Love the whole sound of it. This beautiful mix of jazz and pop, it feels super contemporary. Stevie Toddler. Based out of Bristol. The album is called Such Big Ideas. And I’ve been binge listening to that this week. Maybe you should too.” - Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2 ​

 

“An artist called Stevie Toddler made something that really grabbed my attention last week…” - Guy Garvey, BBC Radio 6
