About Steve
Steve was born and raised in Birmingham, England. He still lives there now, whether it be at his home or in the studio. Being brought up with music, Steve didn't actually pick up a guitar till he was of the age 13. The first thing that caught his eye, or should i say ears was the melodic sound coming from the guitars of Iron Maidens Dave Murray, and so you can probably guess what he went away to learn. Throughout his playing career he has come to see and hear many more guitarists that have caught his ears, one of them being the Virtuoso Steve Vai. Steve has played a big influence on Steves life as a guitar player which can be heard in his music.
