Steve was born in Daytona Beach Florida.  His dream was always to play music from an early age when he got his first instrument, a trumpet at age 13.  He wanted to play drums but Mom said "there is no volume knob on the drum set!!   So he settled on a guitar and started playing all the time even skipping school to work on his craft.   By the age of 17 he was playing in bars with fake ID's and got themselves fired from several gigs for packing the bar full of underage kids rocking out.  They were the most popular local band for several years till unexpected fatherhood changed his priorities to raising his daughter Amber.   He created a home built studio and continued writing and started playing with other musicians including Josh Rumer from Inventgo Productions. They played in a band 3rd Seed.   Soon another child entered the mix his son Kobe and once again music had to take a side seat.  He continued to write and produce fitting it in his life as he could.   He played with one of James Browns' drummers , KC and the Sunshine Bands' bass player, Trae Pierce of Ohio Players and Trae Pierce and the T Stones. Had opportunities to tour but the money just was not there could not take the hit.   Steve sold 6 songs to a production company for a royalty free catalog would write 3 a week and they would pick out one but had to sell all copywrite so stopped doing that. Didn't seem right taking a one time pay check from a publishing company that would cash in for ever. Steve also fronted a band called "Sons of Dixie" and played his first show in 15 years opening for Confederate Railroad.     And Covid hit and everything was put on hold or cancelled.  He has continued to write and work on solo projects writing tons of great material instrumental and full songs with his goal to put together a royalty free catalog and continue playing in various venues. No luck and questionable choices has been the theme it seems. But by listening to the music you hear the potential first hand. 

Some of the Venues Steve has played in include:

Popano Seafood Festival       Ormond Beach Live

First Turn Port Orange           Deland Music Festival
