Overview
I am a one man, smooth jazz pianist and recording artist, which can handle music all across the rainbow. I have many years of experience under my belt. If you need it laid back, I can do that. If you need it nice and funky, I can do that as well. Special requests aren't out of the question either. I perform for weddings, wedding receptions, festivals, corporate events, birthday parties, new year eve parties, Christmas events, religious events, concerts openings, outdoors events and much more! I've also done private in home events, private show for an anniversary dinner. I don't sing, except for RARE occasions. Reach out to me and see what we can work out together!

January 15, 2025The Greatest & Kindest Musician!
Steve is an absolute treasure you will want for every occasion! He arrived early each day and came extremely prepared. He is such a kind soul and so talented. Everyone enjoyed the tunes and vibes he brought to the room, and we are so thankful he shared his gifts with us. I could go on and on about how much I love Steve! He is simply the best!

February 2, 2024I highly recommend Steve!
From the very beginning Steve was a delight to work with. He was quick to respond and answered all questions I had. We had him at a party at our house for my husbands birthday and was the perfect addition. He is extremely talented and was eager to accommodate any request we had.
I highly recommend Steve!

December 16, 2023Spectacular addition & talent to my office Christmas party!
From the beginning, Steve was so great at communicating with me. He quickly responded on gigsalad and then we emailed to hear some of his clips. He gave me his phone # if needed. Mostly, I could tell what kind of a fun loving gentleman he was via our messages. He has a lovely spirit and it definitely came out in his music. I asked for 'funky' Christmas tunes to liven up the party for background as we had appetizers, cocktail class and games. I only booked him for an hour thinking that would work with our schedule. However, the thought of not having his music playing until our comedian/magician came on would have been noticed by the crowd. He was able to play an extra half hour or so before his next gig. It was perfect! If you have an event, party, etc. that needs a talented player do not hesitate to contact Steve. You will not be disappointed!

February 2, 2023WHAT A GREAT GUY!!
Steven was great. He arrived early and had a confidence and respect about him that makes you smile. He knew the music already and added some of his own songs to complement the services. What a great guy!
