Album Description:
'One Voice' is Stephen's long awaited solo album, and features a wonderful mix of musical theatre and pop – from Kelly Clarkson to Neil Sedaka, Peter Allen to Barry Manilow. Stephen is joined on three tracks by his fellow band members from '4 Poofs and a Piano' giving their unique backing vocals, and the album features brand new arrangements by Steve Edis & Roland Anderson.
Recording Artist:
Sydney born singer Stephen de Martin became a household name in the UK thanks to the success of his band '4 Poofs and a Piano' who featured for nine years as the resident house band on the BAFTA and Comedy award winning chat show 'Friday Night with Jonathan Ross' on BBC1. Watched by millions each week '4 Poofs and a Piano' have sung for and shared the stage with an impressive list of A list celebrities including Joan Collins, Elton John, Liza Minelli, Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams and many others who have done rehab.
Stephen described by Jonathan Ross as "delightful, delicious and delirious without taking his clothes off" is no stranger to the stage and screen. After a successful career in the Aussie cabaret circuit with his brother and sister, Stephen took steps to further his career by emigrating to the UK in 1996 as a singer on the original Love Boat. Successful European tours in HAIR and BEST OF BROADWAY soon followed, and several appearances in UK pantomimes.
