Platinum Weird

In 2004 Stewart hooked up with acclaimed LA-based songwriter Kara DioGuardi to write songs for The Pussycat Dolls. The pair struck an instant bond and re-launched Platinum Weird, the constant being Stewart, with the sole intention of continuing their passion for no-frills 70s-inspired rock'n'roll.

In 1974 Stewart was originally a member of a short-lived band named Platinum Weird signed to Elton John's Rocket Records label. On the eve of the album's debut release in `74, the original lead singer, Erin Grace, suddenly disappeared.

Kara DioGuardi is currently America's most celebrated female songwriter, and has penned songs for Santana, Christina Aguilera, Ashlee Simpson, Hilary Duff, Pink, Kelly Clarkson and Kylie Minogue.

During Stewart's success with Eurythmics, Kara DioGuardi was a young schoolgirl living in the upscale neighborhood of Scarsdale, an hour north of New York City. Her early interest in music was encouraged by an older woman who lived nearby and became her mentor in those formative years. By 2004, having become, as an adult, a successful songwriter, with scores of hit songs to her credit, Kara teamed up with Stewart under the guidance of legendary record producer Jimmy Iovine. The magical synchronicity

As a producer he has many great albums. One the best was the album of Fergal Sharkey.

The last Eurythmic Album was EURYTHMICS - PEACETOUR.
