In the late 80's he established his own facility "Soundshed Recording Studio". Like many others in the industry, he makes his living as a writer & producer for other songwriters and also for commercial jingles and soundtracks. As the singer songwriter and integral member of the 'MSP Band' in the 80's, the group released an album titled "Pieces" and toured extensively… and, of course, didn’t make a cent from it, but had a lot of fun :) Stewart has released 8 solo albums since 1998.
