Early career 1994–1996 Stu G joined Delirious? (then known as The Cutting Edge Band) in 1994. Prior to this, he had worked as an
electrician, played session guitar for other artists, and played with the band Treasure Park. During his time with the Cutting Edge Band, he wrote and recorded his first and, to date, only solo project. The album, titled
Have You Heard?, was released in 1995 on a limited cassette run. It has not been re-released since. During the writing sessions for their first album
King of Fools, Stu G was the primary songwriter for the title track and the song 'All The Way', both of which he wrote with Martin Smith. He also served as the secondary songwriter on many other tracks on the album, including the bands international hit single "
Deeper". Later in the year, the band embarked upon their first full UK tour. During this time, the band regularly played 'Come Like You Promise', the opening track from his 1995 solo album. Stu G wrote many popular songs for the band throughout the rest of their career. For their third album
Glo, the band recorded 'Awaken The Dawn', a track which he had written in 1994 during his time as a solo recording artist. He shared lead vocals with Smith in 2001 on the Audio Lessonover? track 'Fire', something he later repeated on their European hit single '
Inside Outside' in 2003. In 2007, he wrote his first book, 'I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever', with Martin Smith, chronicling their times during the band. In 2008, he joined the
CompassionArt songwriters team, contributing towards their
first self-titled album and book.
Post Delirious? When Delirious? announced their planned split in 2008, Stu G was quick to reassure fans through his blog that he would be continuing in the music industry, and later hinted that he would work on projects with bassist Jon Thatcher. Thatcher confirmed that he had built his own studio and that he was frequently traveling to Nashville. He was part of Tim Hughes' live band during the recording of his live album,
Happy Day. Stu G performed his first solo acoustic gig during the Greenbelt Festival in 2009. Stu G and Jon Thatcher have now formed a new band with
Jason Ingram as lead singer and
Paul Mabury as drummer. The band, called One Sonic Society, started work on their debut album in June 2009. Two of the songs on their EP
One are also featured on the Hillsong LIVE album
A Beautiful Exchange. In 2013, Stu G
crowdfunded a solo EP titled
Of Burdens, Birds and Stars through
PledgeMusic. == Discography ==
