Steve
began his career at the age of fifteen, playing under Mehli
Mehta performing classical symphony. From there to another
classic, Knott's Berry Farm, where he opened the Roaring
20's section as leader of the "Bathtub Gin Gang". This
seven-piece group served as the house band at Knott's for
seven years running.
Steve took a couple years off to earn a BS degree in
Business Administration. As soon as he graduated, he put a
band back together. This band went on to win the group
competition on a national TV special "America Votes for
Tomorrow's Stars".
Steve has played most major hotels in Las Vegas, Reno and
Tahoe. While living in Las Vegas, he co-produced and
starred in "Bloopers", a long running show at the Marina
Hotel. He returned to Los Angeles in 1980 to sign with
Motown and work with 20th Century Fox to create a series
for HBO. He has written and produced numerous radio, TV,
cable and video spots. His latest credits include writing,
performing and arranging for Nissan, Hyundai, Infinity, and
three spots for the LA Times that played in movie theaters
across southern California.
He has spent a lot of time lately upgrading his studio. He
is a loyal Mac user and utilizes his system for both MIDI
and audio hard disk recording. These recordings include all
of the background tracks for his live show (over 500
songs). He currently performs a solo act. His repertoire
includes selections that cover the last century; everything
from Dixieland to Top 40. Steve combines cutting edge
technology with God given talent and a lot of hard work to
provide one of the best live performances seen anywhere.
Where is Steve now? One of Southern California's favorite
entertainers for over eighteen years. He relocated to Belt
Montana, near Great Falls in 2007 and was thrilled with the
warm reception and notoriety he received in and around the
area. Reciently he has moved again, and you can find him in
Arizona, living in San Tan Valley and playing mostly east
of Phenix in the Apache Junction, Chandler and Mesa
areas.
