ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: STEPH JONES

Steph Jones – Mr. Ordinary

Meet Steph Jones. This Houston-born, Missouri City-raised singer has really been picking up some steam recently. The self-proclaimed momma’s boy was discovered and signed by DTP’s Ludacris and Chaka. Steph attributes much of his inspiration to the likes of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, and Frank Sinatra – just to name a few.

“Mr. Ordinary” is an easy track. It’s got a nice groove, and Steph’s voice floats over it very nicely. It just feels like a good song. The production is simple and light, which I think adds to the charm of the song. It doesn’t over-power the sweetness of Steph’s voice. He’s like none other artist on DTP. Even with Bobby Valentino on the roster, I think that Steph will definitely get his shine on later this year.

    THIS GUY WAS THE MALE LEAD IN THE DESTINY’S CHILD VIDEO “JUMPIN JUMPIN”. HE WAS ALSO THE MALE LEAD IN FAITH EVANS VIDEO “I LOVE YOU “………HE HAS BEEN IN TONS OF PRINT ADS AND VIDEOS ….ALL THE BEST BROTHER……..

  12. Daryl

    i kinda like it.. i already knew he could sing from the “Celebrity Chick” song… i’ll support him

  13. um

    he’s cute and i like the track, but he should be able to sing better, your voice is too ordinary mr. ordinary….

  14. I like his voice its soothing like Robin Thicke’s. Hmmmmm nice pic as well.

  15. um

    take that back…it gets a lil better, i shoulda listened to the whole song first…

  16. Texturized1

    He has a nice flow.

  17. Dats was sup,,,He got my vote!!!!!!!!

  18. @ 13 so that’s where i recognized him from… because when i saw the celebrity chick video i was trying to figure that one out

  19. Ewwwwww….oh no hun! He’s been listening to too many commercial jingles or something, cause that song is so ordinary.

  20. Yeah i’m loving the song, wasn’t too bothered at first but after i listened again, i love it Steph Jones is cool, he’s my baby now, well him and Luda, Luda being my number one

  21. Yeah i love the final verse where he sings over, i’ll be getting his album when it drops

  23. I likeit…
    it’s not ORDINARy
    its uniquemusic..
    Pretty cool///
    ordinaryORDINARY!!

  24. Momo

    I dont know why but I can picture Barney singing this song. Holding hands with little kids in a big ass circle, saying “Im ordinary, your ordinary, we are all ordinary”.

    I think he has potential. Im still waiting for an male r&b singer to just bring heat, passion, sexiness, the whole nine yards because to many stupid negroes in this industry singing dumb sh*t. “My girl gotta girlfriend” has really pissed me off. Cant believe my ass wasted time listening to that sh*t.

  25. NYC NYC

    I remember him from Faith’s video, the fro is much better than the braids.

  26. Dame

    @ 17 where is Craig David. Lol at # 5. He sounds good

  27. datstldude

    he sounds good, but doesnt he kinda look like marques houston.

  28. Have Not Thought Of a User Name

    Pass!

    It sound like it needs to be on one of those educational shows for kids like sesame street or something like that.

  29. Not feelin’ him, sorry. NEXT

  30. Staci

    I like his voice, it’s soothing. He reminds me of Bilal and Musiq combined

  31. HollieWooDOnline

    He sound like Kin Folk to India Arie! & its sounds a lil’ like 1 of Lloyd songs off his 1st album – I could def. see him rockin!

  32. HollieWooDOnline

    @ 17 – Wow for that to be son from that DC Vid – It took him a min. 2 get the music out – Beyonce done Jumped & Jumped again!

  33. HollieWooDOnline

    Oops I meant @ #13 sorry im exausted LOL I should go 2 Rehab

  34. Dubb

    I like it! Sounds like this indi artist Darnel lLevine. Check him out too DarnellLevine.com or myspace.com/darnelllevine1

  35. Miss Erin

    I like his voice, it is smooth…and I agree with the sort of Musiq voice comparison…He is cute too…

  36. FatimaknowlesOIG

    He’s a sexy dude

  37. This is an catchy song. I met him about a year ago when I went to his house for a rooftop barbecue. He is a nice dude and very personable and comical. I wish him the best.

  38. I love the hook! and he is foine!! I love his voice

  39. @ 9 yah i can see that. male india Arie.

    that was him in the new joint of the day on today’s 106 & park right? with chingy..

    he’s a cutie

  40. RL

    if i was him i would ask not 2 be on the spotlight from Brian cuz all dats gonna happen is he’s gonna bootleg u 2 everybody

  41. THIS SONG SOUNDS LIKE THE THEME SONG FROM MR ROGER’S NEIGBOURHOOD, JUST WITH SOME SOUL!

    HE HAS A NICE VOICE.

  42. if stevie wonderful & marvin gaye is his inspiration, he cant go wrong!!!!!

  43. Meechy05

    He’s the model in Destinys Child Jumpin Jumpin video

  44. backtoblack

    hes very good looking and has a great body… and it ends there.

  45. Ok gon head boy! This song is ok but Im really feeling his “get me started” on his myspace. Bout time we get some different music that is progressive and not about me droppin my back like a ho. Plus he is definetly a cutie so I can see him blowin up. But his image reminds me of that white guy that that was kinda kooky….Jason Mraz yeah thats him! Anyway he sounds very promising.

  46. I actually like it, then again, I might just be blinded by my infatuation with him! Whatever the case may be, he’s hot and I like it!!!

  47. Dang, ya’ll rough on him. maybe you gotta be from the south to feel it, I’m loving it!

  48. Rara

    Musiq comparison???!!!

    please stop with the insults, musiq is a good man.
    LOL

  49. yeah um…first off. He’s a cutie!!!

    second i love that song. and i love his sound. i fell in love with him on myspace. lol

  50. oh and also..it could be the fact that he’s from MO. CITY!!!!! all day baby. all day. lol

  51. Anon101

    I think he has his own style and I can appreciate that.His voice is no Ne-Yo.He is not your dancing type, wanna be dancing type Omarion and them.I hope he brings some kind of R&B back because I know he would describe his sound pretty much all genres.

  52. i’m pretty sure he’s in like a split second of the Bobby Valentino Anonymous video. And i thought he was really hot and have been wondering who he was. Thank you for the answer. He’s song is…ok. I dont know. Maybe I’ll dig he’s other stuff more but he’s totally nice to look at. haha

  53. I just hope it’s not a single. He’s cool, song was breezy, he has potential. I’ll give him another chance. He was a little rough on “Celebrity Chick” though. If he wrote this song than I will give him another chance.

  54. Anni Stack

    This song turned out to be exaclty what I expected from Steph Jones. It’s chill, mellow, melodic, just real smoothe! it’s a great track and if this song is the sloghtest glimpse into what we can expect from his album, its most def gonna be a banger!

  55. Miss Godiva D'or

    I saw him on the chingy video earlier today. I think he needs to comb his hair. “Mr Ordinary” sounds good but I don’t like that they have Mr. Shawn Carter on the track. I hate sample music. Let’s wait to see what else comes out by this guy. He can’t hit it though, not my speed.

  56. come on now, musiq is much more talented. i guess he has potential but he’s so ordinary. the music is blah. his lyrics don’t grab me but hey it’s much better than the stuff on the radio
