The younger years....
Steve was born in the great city of Toronto, Ontario Canada. He lived there for the first half of his life and ended up moving to the Appleton, Wisconsin in the United States around the young age of 12. Ever since he was young, music was always a huge part of his life. His father William played saxophone in the Canadian band The Shades and had always placed an importance on music throughout Steve's younger years. He was introduced to the greats at a young age which is most likely a huge factor in his unique style. Steve grew up listening to such artists as the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, to artists like Frank Sinatra and Louis Prima.
The later years....
Steve began playing in bands as soon as turned 14. He started a Ska-Punk band called Insult to Injury with a good friend he had met shortly after arriving in the United States. The band received excellent reviews as well as a great fan base around the Midwest. After 3 years of performing and a month before finalizing a record deal, the group disbanded. Steve spent the next few years at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where he self-produced 2 solo albums which became a staple in the Midwest underground college music scene. Shortly after the release of his second solo album Steve and some other musicians from Milwaukee formed the band, The Rest. The Rest ended up being the House band for the historic Blues Rock venue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin the Up & Under. The band broke up due to musical differences in the summer of 2006.
The Present....
After the break-up of The Rest, Steve moved back to Appleton Wisconsin to start working on his solo project again. The rest is soon to be written....
