Introducing: Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn
For Brighton-based duo Frankie Stew and Harvey Gunn, they were still dreaming of a life in music in between school lessons. Best mates since the age of 15, Frankie and Harvey have spent the past decade slowly but surely bringing themselves up the ranks as part of an entirely DIY duo.
Their sound offers a deeply personal mix of producer Harvey’s richly textured beats, which are given an upbeat swing courtesy of U.K. garage drums, and Frankie’s reflective and heartfelt raps, which touch on subjects from coming of age to his mental health.
With 51M catalogue streams and over half a million monthly listeners, the duo have firmly established themselves with music fans and have been backed by tastemakers including Annie Mac, DJ Target, Huw Stephens, and Steve Lamacq. They’re the first to admit that their rise has been a steady one, but over time, Frankie Stew and Harvey Gunn have become a force to be reckoned with and will continue to stake their claim in the UK music scene.
