The Steoples

The Steoples are the avant-soul duo of GB and Yeofi Andoh.

Originally from rural England, Yeofi was surrounded by his father’s diverse collection of classical to soul music from a young age. With David Bowie as his first “real musical love”, he quickly developed a passion for punk rock and played with several UK-based bands before moving to Los Angeles. Yeofi has since collaborated with artists including Theo Parrish and DJ Spinna under the moniker A Race of Angels.

Gifted & Blessed and Frankie Reyes are just some of the aliases GB has used to release his music. Over the last four years, he has been a Stones Throw regular, releasing two albums as Frankie Reyes on the label, which were both created on the analogue Oberheim synthesizer: Boleros Valses y Mas in 2016 and Originalitos in 2020. In between these releases, The Steoples’ debut album Six Rocks came out on Stones Throw in 2017 after Peanut Butter Wolf expressed interest in hearing more of GB's work.

Friends for over fifteen years, Yeofi and GB combine their varying musical worlds as The Steoples, “an exploration of music and philosophy by two friends of different backgrounds.”
