About Stephen

Stephen Rahman-Hughes is similarly a man of many talents. Half British, half Malaysian, he grew up obsessed with breakdancing, attended internationally renowned Rambert Dance School from the age of 18 to 22 and later formed his own award-winning choreography company before getting into acting. In recent years, he has appeared in West Side Story and Bombay Dreams on the West End stage, as well as several dramas including Bad Girls, Dream Team and Doctors. He can currently be seen as world-weary Detective Inspector Dasari on Emmerdale.

“Life is constantly full of surprises” Stephen says, “and I think this might just be the best one yet. We're getting to sing some really fabulous songs here, songs that have been arranged quite beautifully by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It's a privilege, and an immensely satisfying one, to be part of all this”.
