Adam Stevens, better known by the stage name Bias B, is an Australian hip hop artist. He started writing lyrics in 1989 and began performing in 1991[1] and released his first album, Beezwax, in 1998.[2] The album took two years to sell its first 500 copies.[3] In 1999, Bias B released an album called Boney & Stoney along with fellow crew members Len One and Lazy Grey. His third album in 2007 sold out its first 3000 copies in less than two weeks.[4] Bias B worked at Obese Records and hosted two radio shows with Stewbakka on PBS FM (The Formula) & RRR-FM (Wordburner).[5]

Stage name

Bias B described to the Cairns Post the origin of his stage name:[6]

"The name 'Bias' didn't come from prejudicial attitudes, it came from the frequency on a cassette tape. Bias is the inaudible, high-frequency tone mixed with the input signal that passes through the recording head to excite tape particles, preparing it to record effectively."
