The Age of Empire ( a theme from the past )

Ever since I was very young, music has had a deep emotional impact on me.
I began writing songs and playing guitar in my early teens and soon after that 
I started studying voice privately, focusing on classical and operatic lessons for many years. This gave me my foundation for working professionally and performing live, which began in my early twenties and continues to the present. I learned by studying the artists that I loved and my musical tastes evolved.

I am self taught on piano and have used songwriting to express my own personal healing and spiritual growth.

Thank you for visiting and listening. I appreciate your comments and messages. Please feel free to say hello! - Steve
General life - info / bio - - -
I began my musical education with listening as an infant and at the age of 7, in 1958, composed my first piece of music which was a brass quartet.

Early influences were guided by the musical taste of my Mother which was often Tchaikovsky and other romantic composers, with an occasional diversion to Big Band and pop music of the late 40's and early 50's.

The Boys Club Band, Grade School Choir and High School Band were a great education in basic orchestration and harmony and in the mid 60's, and self taught as a guitarist, I began live performance, which lasted until 1999.

Music and technology have always been my main interests and as those two elements continued to merge through the late 90's to the present, they have led me to the point where I now can successfully realize my earliest childhood dreams of musical expression in composing for full orchestra.

Special thanks to Mom for the great listening experience, brother Greg for the continued guidance in music from a formal perspective, and brother Lew for the technological expertise.

This is my solo project.

All songs are home recorded by myself.
