A California native singer, songwriter, and producer, Poker Man, is destined for superstardom. This 25 year old performer grew up listening to pop, disco and funk music stylings from Michael Jackson, KC &amp; the Sunshine Band, Madonna, and Donna Summer to Luis Miguel, and Shakira. Influenced by modern day pop stars like Britney Spears and Lady Gaga, he is motivated to achieve his goal of bringing disco music back to the mainstream. He proudly expresses, “My computer is my instrument, and I’m not ashamed to say that”. His production of electro euro-pop instrumentals combined with robotic, glam rock vocals is his trademark. Poker Man’s music is not only danceable, but is accompanied by insightful lyrics and unanticipated melodic nuances.

Music has always been one of Steve's strengths.  Playing many instruments as a youngster, starting with the piano, he quickly grew to love many different types of music.  Inspired by musicals, international artists and other local DJs from Toronto, that turning point came when he chose to dive into an industry he knew was going to take a lot of time and work to make it.

After graduating from college at Trebas Institute for Recorded Music Production,  Steve had written and produced many songs but only a few DJs would play them in clubs.   After being influenced by top DJs in both Canada and New York (US) he bought his first Pioneer CDJ-800s and DJM-400 and managed to land his first big gigs and residencies in Toronto and surrounding cities.

After just one year Steve Rapson managed to confirm a spot at one of Canada's biggest parties - Pride Toronto - on center stage!   With so many accomplishments in 2009 recognition has lately been great in Toronto with his first time at Comfort Zone (upstairs in the Silver Dollar), returning gigs to Pride events in London and Toronto.
