Kevin McWha Steele is a songwriter, lyricist, and poet, who finds inspiration through singing, writing poetry/lyrics, and travel. After studying music and poetry in France for four years, he relocated to New York City in 1999, as a poetry fellow at Bard College (MFA candidate). Since he has been writing and performing songs and poems in many different styles in both French and English.

His professional music credits range from session vocalist for Virgin U.K. to performing/recording with a variety of musicians, performance artists and songwriters in both New York and Los Angeles, including his brother, the director/actor Kameron Steele. 

To date, he has released five studio albums (3 LPs, 2 EPs) and two written works: a collection of poems and song lyrics entitled, "Medawin," and a book Tanka-inspired poetry,"The 12 Alchemists & Other Poems" - written in honor of Yoko Ono and performed at the 2007 LongHouse Gala. He is currently at work on his sixth studio release, "The Nightly Howl!", also the name of his current backing band.
