His songs are earthy, insightful lessons, tales and reflections drawn from his adversity built character. Throughout life he has tasted both highs and lows and now shares his warmth, joy, love and light through live performances and his album MeXico.

Independent and based in Byron Bay, you can hear natural beauty of the surf and soul of this area coming through his music.

Stokes writes songs as a means of processing the challenges of life, and then shares in the hope that others may receive nourishment. Live he entertains and moves listeners with enthusiasm and passionate melodies of honesty, courage and positivist lyrics, complimented by his soothing soulful and explosive voice. Influenced by Paul Kelly, Ben Harper, John Butler, John Williamson, Dave Matthews Band, The Grateful Dead and Xavier Rudd he imparts his own ingredients and flavors to this genre.
