| BIO: | After hearing Ozzy and Metallica, Steve started taking guitar lessons at age 12. After practicing and working on his chops for a few years, he began playing in various bands. During high school you could find Steve playing clubs all over the New England coast. After hearing Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, that motivated him to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. It was at Berklee that he discovered bands like Dream Theater, and guitar greats like Vinnie Moore, Frank Gambale, Steve Morse, etc and started to incorporate their styles into his playing. It was during this time that he got his break in the film scoring business by writing the music for the movie “Amoung Us”. He won an award for best theme song. Since then he has written and recorded a long list of music and became one of the most sought after music writers for commercials and movies. After Berklee Steve was also in many bands that were signed and has seen many record labels. He had an extensive catalog of songs played , as well as live performances, on various radio stations. This is where he developed his cult following.
