MUSICAL DIRECTOR
It is his work with many unsigned & newly signed artists from all over the world that has given Steve the insight into the world of the session musician. Every song is different, every singer has an idea of how things need to be done and most importantly every artist needs a strong, dedicated musician to share the stage and deliver the goods. Using this experience Steve is often hired as MD (Musical Director) to put together bands for brand new artists so they can get started on the road to success. Many of these new artists need to perform tiny showcases in and around London. These are a far cry from the huge stage of Wembley but equally as important.
MORE ARTISTS
Steve has also performed with other established artists such as Lizzy Pattinson (IOW Festival 2010, O2 Wireless 2010, Ronnie Scotts), Lionel Richie, Peter Andre, Delta Goodrem, Gareth Gates, James Walsh, Adam Ant and Danielle Spencer to name a few.
TV/FILM
In addition to ‘live’ touring Steve has been hired many times by record companies and agencies to perform on TV shows such as Top Of The Pops, CD:UK, MTV, TRL, ITV, Disney, C4 & GMTV. He has also spent many hours on Movie sets as a background artist. These include Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, The Divinci Code, De-Railed, Kinky Boots and other productions.
