Legendary musician, producer and songwriter Dave Stewart is joining forces with Tero Ojanpera, executive vice president and head of the new Nokia Entertainment & Communities business group, to create The Nokia Artists´ Advisory Council, tasked with helping to create an artist friendly environment inside the company, ensuring the artists´ point of view is represented in creating new content business paradigms.

Dave Stewart is one of the most respected and trusted people in the music industry today. A prodigious producer of music, film and photography he is the “musician´s musician”, an all-round multi-media entrepreneur and, in Bob Dylan´s words, “a fearless innovator”.

Dave Stewart´s career spans the last 25 years, having achieved over 75 million album sales with Eurythmics´ partner Annie Lennox. Stewart is also known as one of the most prestigious British record producers, working with the biggest names in the music industry worldwide.

Eurythmics embarked upon on a world tour during 1999 and 2000 and donated the proceeds to Amnesty International and Greenpeace. Annie and Dave ended the millennium playing live in Greenwich London and played their way into 2000 with the whole world watching as they sang “Sweet Dreams” at midnight Greenwich Meantime. Dave and Annie were inducted into the UK Hall of Fame by Bob Geldof in November 2005 with Prime Minister Tony Blair, Mick Jagger and Sting all delivering speeches.

If this isn´t enough, Stewart is also a highly-regarded artist and filmmaker. He has been active for several years in cinema, writing numerous film scores for Director´s such as Robert Altman, Paul Verhoven, Ted Demme also writing and producing the title songs for many hit movies throughout the years. Along with close friend Mick Jagger, Dave wrote and produced the Score for Charles Shyer´s movie Alfie starring Jude Law.

The concert went live to over 1 billion people, Oprah Winfrey devoted a week to this special event and the foundation is now fully established.

“When I met Dave in September of 2000, he talked for 12 hours about the impact of digitalization on the production and distribution of media. As a banker, I didn´t know what the hell he was talking about - nor did anyone else. Over the next five years, we all found out” Michael Philipp, (Chairman and Executive Board Member of Credit Suisse Europe, Middle East and Africa)
