As an engineer, Steve is as comfortable on a RadioShack cassette recorder as he is on a Neve, API, or SSL.  Utilizing the right combination of technical mastery, knowledge of acoustics, and “I really am on your side!” personality, he allows the artists he works with to stay comfortable, focused, creative, and well… happy. You are going to sound good, check that off the list, now let’s make music.

Fortunate enough to have apprenticed with, and now collaborate with one of his favorite engineers, John Siket, Steve has been able to hone his love of music into a craft that regularly satisfies artists beyond their own expectations. They sum it up and go on to say “Steve has huge ears and a big heart…” and, “Unlike a lot of engineers/producers you’ll work with, Steve is actually a great musical talent…”

Select engineering and/or production credits include: Semi Precious Weapons, Matisyahu, Elizabeth & The Catapult, Meshell Ndegeocello, Mark Guiliana, Cecilia Celeste, Robbie Gil, and Fikus.

As a musician, apart from handling Keyboard, Guitar, and Background Vocal duties in Jeff Taylor’s band (Rockwood Music Hall/Atlantic), he has been teaching and scoring drums and percussion, as well as band arrangements for all genres, since 2000. He’s also had the great privilege of being a featured drummer in 2 Carnegie Hall performances, and thinks Folktronica is totally rad. You can also catch him playing rugby with local NY and NJ clubs. Fully versed in musical theory, and an accomplished drummer/songwriter/guitarist/vocalist, Steve frequents NY & NJ based studios, and the indie music scene in Brooklyn and the LES.
