Peven Everett's influence on house music runs deep. Known for his electrifying voice, multi-instrumental talent, and timeless anthems like "Stuck" and "Gabriel" he's shaped the sound of soulful house and beyond—collaborating with other legends like Roy Davis Jr. and Theo Parrish, and bridging gospel, jazz, funk, and dance.
