Info zu STET

Over the past 20 years, Guy Sigsworth has helped shape some of the most iconic music of our generation. For the first time, the man behind the music steps into the limelight with the release of his first solo studio album, Stet, out on Mercury KX. Celebrated worldwide for his work with the biggest names in music, the legendary songwriter, producer and songwriter has collaborated with global superstars including Björk, Britney Spears, Madonna, Imogen Heap, Robyn, Alanis Morissette and Alison Moyet. Sigsworth’s first solo record is entitled Stet – an album title which particularly resonates with the multifaceted producer. The Latin word ‘stet’ comes from an abbreviation used in proofreading and means ‘let it stand’, indicating that a word or phrase which may seem unusual is done intentionally and does not need correcting. It is, in fact, this notion which has earned Sigsworth such impressive credentials – his career has relied on knowing that artists are at their best when they remain true to themselves rather than imitating someone else.

Sigsworth grew up in Ilkley West Yorkshire where he developed a youthful passion for classical music. He studied the harpsichord and eventually found himself touring through Europe with the European Union Baroque Orchestra. Upon returning to the UK, he moved to London and began focusing on contemporary songwriting and music production. A short time later, he met Seal and ended up co-writing four songs on Seal’s debut album Crazy: “The Beginning”, “Wild” and “Violet”, plus the B-side, “Sparkle”. Sigsworth then went on to work with Icelandic star Bijork where he co-wrote, recorded and played with her on Dancer In The Dark and Vespertine.

In 1996 Sigsworth was introduced to Imogen Heap. Together they wrote, “Getting Scared” and “Airplane,” which Sigsworth produced for her debut album, I Megaphone. Sigsworth and Heap would later team up again to form the band Frou Frou. Although it was short lived, their critically acclaimed album, Details, garnered them a strong cult following. Their song “Let Go,” was personally selected by actor Zach Braff for his independent film, Garden State.
