Born in the early 80s, Stephen grew up in Saltcoats, listening to the likes of Shalamar, Earth Wind & Fire and Kool & The Gang. His Mother’s partner John was a soul and funk DJ in the West of Scotland and various venues in Spain, and John’s musical influence clearly rubbed off. A Christmas present sealed Stephen’s musical fate – a 3 CD compilation of Earth Wind and Fire from his Dad on repeat resulted in a healthy obsession with soul and funk, and Grooveline was born. Soul and groove to move, each and every week on Grooveline.
Since 1998 Grooveline has brought together the finest classic and modern soul, jazz funk, acid jazz and soulful house into a weekly show packed with new releases and timeless tracks.
Over the years the show has been broadcast on radio stations in Scotland, England, Austria, Greece, The Netherlands, South Africa, Australia and France on many different radio platforms.
Guests on the show have included Jean Paul "Bluey" Maunick (Incognito), Frank McComb (vocalist and pianist), Christian Urich (Tortured Soul), John Morales (DJ & producer), Dan Goldman (JD73) and Maysa Leak (Incognito & solo artist).
The show is hosted by Grooveline founder Stephen Howie and recorded each week at Grooveline HQ in London, UK.
