Born in Sylvester Stewart, Stone grew up in Valleyo. Before launching the leading group of races, Stone was the author of songs, DJs and the producer. The band’s signing sound was an explosion of hectic pods, rapid guitar and locomotive rhythms, a melting bowl of jazz, narcotic rocks, Doo-Wop, sound, and premature Vanch grooves.

“Selli did a lot of things so well that it was my head throughout the way,” wrote Fonk Pioneer and Stone Lieutenant -Colonel George Clinton once. “The polished R&B may be created that seemed to have come from an act that had protested in clubs for years, then in the next breathing it can be a drug like the heaviest of the Rock band.”
