Laney had a mother, Mary Ann Stewart, who was a successful singer in her own right, having sung backgrounds for the Ohio Players, Curtis Mayfield and Aretha Franklin. His uncle, Morris “Butch” Stewart was a successful musician and producer. By age nine, Laney had taught himself how to play piano and drums. With the advertising business booming in Chicago, Laney started singing on jingles at the age of 12. As a teenager, he made the transition to writing and composing with a career doing his own jingles. By 15, he had his first commercially released songs on CBS Records with Ramsey Lewis’ “This Ain’t No Fantasy.” At the age of 16, he became a regular in the burgeoning Chicago underground house music scene, and became one of the early house producers, producing songs for Arrogance such as, “Crazy,” [1] which was released on DJ International Records in 1986. Eventually, Laney began working as a session musician with his uncle, Wayne Stewart, Tony Brown and Patrick Leonard. Laney’s most significant keyboard influence was Leonard, who was known for his work with Madonna, “Like a Prayer” etc. By 18, Stewart and partner Kenneth Hale formed their own jingle company, Minute Men, composing popular spots for Bud Light, McDonald’s and Coca-Cola. They became the “go to” guys for urban based spots for advertising juggernauts like the Burrell ad agency and DDB Needham. They even won an award for their work on the California Lottery ad campaign. He was doing House clubs at night, jingle sessions and meetings with ad executives by day.

In 1988, with the help of ad executive and acclaimed author, Michelle McKinney Hammond, Laney signed his first publishing deal with Famous Music (now Sony/ATV Music Publishing). Within the first couple years of his deal, Laney had linked up with songwriting partner, Tony Haynes, for a string of placements and would wisely upgrade his deal to a joint venture with Famous Music. With a publishing deal and a machine behind him, he decided to focus his career on working with recording artists instead of jingles. In 1990, he & Tony Haynes formed The Groove Asylum, which soon put him in the studio working with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who had a tremendous influence on Laney’s songwriting and production style. With his dual roles at Groove Asylum and Famous, he was co-producing songs with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, in addition to working with well-known recording artists. At the same time he was fine- tuning his business savvy by signing a group of young writers to his production company, including his younger brother, Christopher “Tricky” Stewart Tricky Stewart, Kuk Harrell and Sean Hall. He brought his other younger brother Mark E. Stewart and future sister in-law Judi into the company as well, on the business side.
