Band Members: Create.....Don't imitate.Some people might say that singer / songwriter / producer willie Steen is an ‘acquired taste’.
Some folks might say ‘this & that’......well that’s ok..One thing is for sure, just keep listening & perhaps the penny will finally drop, that Steen truly is a force to be reckoned with. He more or less creates his own genre of music, inspired by the past as well as the present. Reggae is the backbone of the beat, which compliment’s the lyrics.......with subject matter that deal’s with topics such as.........love, hate, power, poverty, every human emotion get’s captured. Don’t expect to see him, anywhere near you soon......Steen retired from live performances year’s ago. The art of recording is what he enjoy’s best.......so listen without prejudice, throw any stereotypes out of the window & perhaps you too will find, the music of Willie Steen.

Sounds Like: I have my own style of singing / writing / producing..... [i don't try or want to sound like anyone else]......originality works best for me.Reggae is my main foundation.....my type of sound contains a lot of pop elements......i don't think in terms of underground or mainstream......[music is music],i just try to make every track different......& keep that foundation solid.....keep that groove moving......make the beat catchy & make sure the lyrics match......My songs & music are soulful & mellow.
