Dan Hostetler refers to himself as “a very normal person with the incredible good fortune to have been able to spend over four decades with the same beautiful soul I married in 1981. We share a needy teacup dog and three human children. Somehow I ended up being tasked with another man's vision, Bryan Cressey's, of putting a free, non-traditional human-oriented addiction treatment center on the street, and that's what I've been doing for the last few years. Before that, I wasted too many years climbing to the top of the international change management consulting industry only to arrive at a void, bereft of meaning and flooded with my own, uncontrollable addictions. Now, clean and sober, clear and purposeful, I don't spend my time thinking about my negative net worth because I cannot wait to get to the building that is home to all the other lost souls I encounter and try to help each day of my life. I could not imagine an existence more chocked full of amazing stories and inconceivable miracles of healing. They're everyday occurrences that never get old, and I aspire to never leave them until I transition out of this life”.

Dr. Zoe Kinias, Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour and Sustainability and John F. Wood Chair for Innovation in Business Education at Ivey Business School, Western University, shares thought-provoking insights from her research, “Receiving Social Support Motivates Long-Term Prosocial Behavior.”

Prosocial behavior actions that benefit others is vital for a healthy society. While most research focuses on short-term effects, little is known about what drives long-term prosocial behavior. Drawing on attachment theory, we propose that receiving social support fosters prosocial behavior over time by enhancing felt security a sense of being safe, cared for, and loved. Across four studies using international alumni, U.S. adults, retrospective surveys, and experimental manipulations, we find consistent evidence that receiving social support increases long-term prosocial behavior, both in the environment where support is received and beyond. These results highlight felt security as a key mechanism linking social support to sustained prosociality.

Steven Vitali is an award-winning, artist, and composer. In 2016 he moved to Los Angeles to further develop his career as a score composer. 

Famous for his profoundly inspiring tunes and dramatic compositions. In terms of arranging music and creating his trademark theme music, he is credited by critics with having established a very high bar. Vitali has won several accolades all around the world for his work in music, film scoring, film directing, and screenwriting.

Steven Vitali is of French, Italian, and, one-quarter German descent. This multidimensional instrumentalist was born June 21st, on the first day of summer and Father's Day, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Steven Vitali is extremely proud of his French Canadian, American, and Italian heritage and credits both the Italian cities of Fano and Pesaro with greatly inspiring him as a composer. 

Steven first played music in the orchestra at St. Timothy's Catholic School. At an early age, Steven enjoyed participating in public speaking and classroom school drama. He particularly remembers playing the character role of a pizza maker where he performed in the library and sang for family, friends, and teachers. And it was here at St. Timothy's a school that Steven got a taste of acting and received his first taste of orchestral arranging.

Steven Vitali was initially musically inspired after seeing an orchestra perform the "Nutcracker Suite" ballet, cementing his desire to compose his own music. Although Steven Vitali was mainly self-taught as a composer, his musical training began in grade school, where he played the trumpet and French horn. He took the principles he learned a step further and knew that songwriting was what he wanted to do.

Steven Vitali's music has been represented by such companies as, Sony Music, Capitol Records, Warner/Chappell Music Canada, Warner Bros., and Koch. 

In 1995 Steven Vitali was inducted into the Canadian Snowbirds Hall of Fame as an Honorary Snowbird in recognition for his outstanding contribution to the Canadian Snowbirds flying team.

Vitali's masterful music is built on a romantic structure. It is all at once lyrical, rhythmical, and harmonically opulent. Vitali is a composer, arranger, and performer, equally at home writing for radio, the concert hall, and, for film and television.

As a young boy, Steven received his first piano as a gift from a generous neighbor, who perhaps intuitively recognized his musical desires. Thus began his inspirational journey of musical expression. In Steven Vitali's quest to find new sounds he truly relates and refers to the statement made by the late, John Cage who wrote, "My favorite music is the music I haven't yet heard. I don't hear the music I write: I write in order to hear the music I haven't yet heard."

Steven's musical arrangements convey imagination and emotion which evoke a sense of passion, excitement, and romanticism. He is able to integrate this into his personal style in a remarkable manner. Vitali's music is a unique blend of virtually all styles, often merging popular and classical styles.

On July 9th, 2025, Steven Vitali was chosen by his peers to join the Recording Academy's 2025 New Member Class - a bold, diverse
collective of creators who are shaping the Academy and music
industry at-large. Steven Vitali accepted this incredible honor.

As a member, Steven Vitali will now have the opportunity to:

Celebrate his peers' achievements throughout the GRAMMY
Awards process, spotlighting excellence across every genre and
community.

I'm honored to join the Recording Academy's 2025 New Member Class - an inspiring global community of creators and professionals who are shaping the future of music.

As a member, I now have a voice in the GRAMMY Awards process and a platform to advocate for our industry, support my peers, and grow in my own journey.

What makes the Academy strong is its diversity of genres, experiences, and voices. I'm excited to contribute my perspective and help champion musical excellence around
the world.

Love,
Steven Vitali

COMPOSER REVIEW

Rebecca Topping Janelli

If Steven was living in Another time, his compositions could be compared to Mozart or Vivaldi. The seemingly complex yet delicate tapestry Vitali weaves transports listeners to a safe and romantic place. A place where life is completely beautiful. Full of grace, light, and harmony. Where the listener can feel Vitali’s inspiration for a world carefree. Where there are no borders,
biases, and strife. Where one can feel anxiety and worry melt away. A vacation into sheer perfection, interpreted by each individual regardless of nationality or spoken language.

Vitali is a composer whose music will last and appeal for generations. Just as the classic great composers before him, the genius of his musical gifts will last forever.
