I'm a solo vocalist who specializes in soulful, smooth, easy listening repertoire. I perform with tracks or I self-accompany as a keyboardist/pianist.

March 30, 2022Hired Steve for my wife’s 40th birthday party. He was easy to work with, super friendly, and was a rock star on the keyboard and vocals.

August 3, 2021Steve is incredibly talented. Was professional, on time, sensitive to the "vibe" we were going for, took requests, allowed singers who wanted to "karaoke", is incredibly talented and was the perfect entertainment for my husbands 50th birthday party with 30 guests. I think he could handle a group from 30 to 500+ and still own the room. 3 days later I'm still getting calls about what a great party it was! We had our own grand piano he used but otherwise he would have brought his keyboard. He supplied a mic with speaker and it was perfect.

June 25, 2020Steve is immensely talented and has a great spirit. He worked with us through the pandemic, and was an absolute treat to have at our intimate micro wedding. Steve beautifully executed the songs we requested and even played something special for the kids in the end. We will welcome Steve again for our big celebration next year!

Soulful vocals.
Steve was born to be a conduit of Soul music. A native of Gary, Indiana (home of the Jacksons), right outside the R&B capital of the world, Chicago, Steve grew up marinating in the music of the Black church. After graduating from the prestigious Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, he performed on cruise ships for 10 years as a soloist, traveling the world and learning hundreds of songs of different genres and styles. Steve discovered that no matter what he sang, from classical to country, Soul is always at the core, coloring the song and making it his own.
I can supply microphone amplification for small to moderate-sized spaces.
