Now a London music producer, Steve's Musical career started at the age of nine when he started learning piano and drums. This led to him enrolling at the Royal Academy of Music to study orchestral music, and then on to Guildhall to study jazz and rock.
After graduation, a chance encounter led Steve on his first tour and opened a number of doors... "I came out of Guildhall and I'd heard that you might land something if you answered adverts in Melody Maker. I answered one looking for a drummer; it turned out to be Midge Ure and I went on tour with him around the world. I ended up having to learn a whole host of instruments including bodhran, accordian and even the penny whistle..." The late 80's led steve to a career in pop as musical director for a variety of touring acts of the time...
"I played with a lot of the Stock, Aitken and Waterman artists like Rick Astley, Kim Appleby, and more recently I was musical director for Lisa Stansfield while recording albums with various chart artists of the time." Steve has also worked in film music, on many Hollywood films including 'From Hell' starring Johnny Depp and the Britney Spears film 'Crossroads'. He also worked with Sting and Eric Clapton, and as his reputation grew as a music producer, so did the need for a state of the art facility, which eventually led to the creation of The Chapel Studios, his own recording studio in London.
From this base Steve continues to work on varied and interesting projects as a music producer, record producer, mix engineer and mastering engineer. He is defining his own inimitable production style, and just occasionally, you might find him back behind the drum kit...
