About Me

"Steve Stapley's gravelly, soulful vocals swell emotively over understated, clean acoustic guitar. His lyrics address the hopeful and the wistful, striking a captivating balance that is somehow both soothing and stimulating." BMI ........Born in London, England, Steve spent 4 years as a writer and recording artist at DJM. He left London in the 1980's to write and perform in Los Angeles, where he was a house writer with L.E.M. America. Emotive, intelligent lyrics and beautiful melodies are the hallmark of Steve's work. Together with his wife, singer Lynda Hayes, Steve has also written, co-produced and performed on Sleepy Old Town, a new CD of lullabies and songs of childhood.
