Steinar Orri Fjeldsted (aka Stoney) is one of the founding members of Quarashi.
Born on the 7th of July 1976 to his father and mother and a big sister, he is the original rapper of Quarashi and the man who taught Hössi everything he knows about rapping.
As listed before, Sölvi found him rapping down town one day. But Stoney’s history with rap goes further back: When he was a young boy he was at a game seminar where he charmed his supervisors with his rap-skills…no wonder.
He lived in Phoenix, Arizona for a year and it is there, in America where he first got really into rap. Stoney also got his “tag-name” Quarashi from his friends there.
Later, the guys tried to find names for each other to use in the music business but Stoney was the only one with a decent name and it became the name of the band right before the release of Switchstance since that was all they could come up with.
