I'm good. . .

About Me

In his time attending Colonel White High School for the Arts in Dayton, Ohio he was a part of the school’s first ever constructed jazz ensemble. He receieved the inaugral version of their Woody Herman Award for Composition the same year.
Managing to do some session work in studios owned by the late Roger Troutman. He believes that through all of these experiences he has been able to establish his own style. A merger of early rock and gospel cooked up in a jazzy funk pot.
Recently Stephen has had the pleasure of working with many esteemed artist’s in today’s industry including platinum selling, Grammy nominated group Az Yet, Mary Mary, Derrick Edmondson and certainly not the least, but defining moment with Ms. Patti Labelle . " A lot of time and work went into preparing for a dinner and honorary doctorate ceremony for Ms. Labelle, Plus, it didn’t go unnoticed!! She just loved the band Austin based Les & the Funk Mob
Along with burgeoning film work and productions in the work, Stephen manages to stay busy either performing or writing at all times.
Here’s to the gift. . .
