About Me

Young Stephen was a face in the crowd. A bright, but somewhat awkward child. He picked up a guitar at the age of twelve and strummed it till his hands were red and raw. Singing was harder to master though. it took ten years to make the frogs go away. writing was always an ambition, be it a story, song or play. many years later, it all came together in a most natural way. and now that face in the crowd, plays for the crowd.... but enough about him....how was your day?
