An adventurous solo artist, writer, and producer, Alonzo “Novel” Stevenson mixes a slick and modern R&B sensibility with old-school soul chops. Emerging in the early 2000s, Novel initially sculpted soulful vocal lines for acts like Joss Stone, Kelis, and Alicia Keys. As a featured artist, he has been an asset across genres, collaborating on EDM anthems (David Guetta’s “One Love”), contributing hooks to modern boom bap by Griselda, and more.
