About Me

Hey everyone. For those of you that don't know, I've gone away for a while to deal with some personal issues that seriously needed to be addressed. Thank you to everyone who has stood by me through all of my up's and downs, and I want to say I'm sorry to anyone whose had to put up with my up's and downs. My intentions and morals were always high, but somewhere along the way they became very very low........and that's NOT me. I plan to return a better man, father, friend, brother, son, and spirit. See ya!
Hi. My name is Stacey Steele. The songs in the player above are from my band LIFE OF RILEY, which has a hit single on Houston's 94.5 FM The Buzz called "When We Were Young", and we were nominated for Band of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year in the 2007 Texas Buzz Music Awards.....hope you enjoy. I've had the pleasure of working with some of the best singers, musicians, and bands over the years, I've toured and played all over the country, been featured on VH1, performed with Grammy nominated artists, made a number of albums and videos (including 3 albums and 2 music videos with Ty Tabor of KING'S X for my band MIND BODY SOUL), and shared the stage with countless national acts including Pantera, Lillian Axe, Loverboy, Blue October, King's X, Enuff Z' Nuff, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Zebra, Third Eye Blind, Galactic Cowboys, Cheap Trick, Tonic, Atomic Opera, Doug Supernaw, Sixpence None The Richer, Sebastian Bach, Drowning Pool, Skid Row, and many more. I enjoy cooking, scuba diving, writing, surfing, and watching Family Guy (can't get enough of it). I live in Houston, and I have an awesome 7 year old son named Joshua. I also play in a "cover" band called WATTZIT2YA, and I'm currently writing and doing demos for what will eventually be my first solo album while LIFE OF RILEY is taking a long needed break.

Influences: I like most ALL styles of music. It really comes down to what moves me. My mom and dad were both in bands while I was growing up. My dad was a country singer/guitarist who did some touring with George Strait in the early/mid 80’s, and my mom did the Linda Ronstadt/Karen Carpenter thing........but I was raised around ALL styles of music, and as I got older I learned to appreciate them all.
