SOUL Band. Stef discovered his singing passion in Shanghai, China, jamming with world class musicians where he was encouraged to form his own band. Upon returning to the UK, in late 2018 he formed The Friday Club and soon after, a Northern Soul act, The Stef Charles Project and then Villains & Heroes.
