Hip hop artist

As a rapper from the Gemstarr Regime, Stoneface works within hip hop and is linked to Royal Fam. The artist is described as carrying on traditions, respecting the foundations of the genre while also introducing new styles.

Stoneface is also connected with a solo album titled Stone Age. The album is described as the first solo release and as reflecting an East Coast hip hop approach.

Other act using the name

Another Stoneface is a band known for a broad musical range and a direct, unpolished attitude to playing music. Its sound moves from acoustic pieces and reflective songs to pop-oriented tracks and harder, more aggressive material. The group is described as showing little concern for the trends of the rock scene.

The band’s first live performance takes place before an audience of 10,000 at an outdoor rock festival, shortly after the loss of its first bass player. Rather than cancel, the remaining members reshuffle the line-up: the rhythm guitarist moves to bass, the keyboard player switches to guitar, and the group prepares a set in two rehearsals. The performance receives a strong response from the crowd.
