About ME
Steve is known for working quickly while delivering deeply emotional and insightful tracks. He treats all his music as sacred offerings to the artists he works with, and the world at large..
Piano was Steve’s first love, where at 16, he performed original music in local orchestras and festivals. In 2002, he attended UBC School of Music, majoring in composition. In 2012, Steve moved to Los Angeles and interned at Glow Music where he pitched for 100's of Film and TV placements. He ended up landing a few, most notiably:
An ABC Family theme song for ‘Monica the Medium’
A track in the video game ‘The Sims’
A track in Hollywood Film ‘What About Love’ (Andy Garcia, Sharon Stone)
After his time at Glow, Steve continued composing independently, scoring international documentary ‘Le Portager De Mon Grandpere’ and various live performances (dance, circus, fashion, plays). Then, Steve began working for independent artists. He produced 50 tracks and multiple EP’s and albums. His productions have received millions of streams.
In 2018, Steve was recruited by charity band BANC (Benevolent Artists National Charity), a supergroup of stage musicians who’ve worked with artists such as: Emmy Lou Harris, Bryan Adams, Quite Riot, The Guess Who, Guns and Roses and more. Steve was fortunate to produce and mix BANC's first album. He also co-produced multiple live events that raised over 2 million dollars. www.thebanc.ca
My Recording Process:
To me, music production is a dance between both sides of the brain.
On one side, we're logical.
We want to make sure every player has their parts, every mic is plugged in and everyone gets paid. We want to make sure our project is done on time and on budget.
On the other side, we're creative, spontaneous and intuitive.
We want to give space for magic, collaboration and beautiful moments.
A good musical producer
1 - Getting to know you and your project.
As a producer, I am to serve your vision. I'm here to support whatever's stirring in your soul, bringing it to life and capturing it in the best way possible. This starts with the simple old-school task of hanging out and chatting over coffee or something.
2 - Budget.
A music single can cost a few hundred to many thousands of dollars. It mostly depends on instrumentation, studio location and mixing/mastering. Projects can be quick and dirty or span over several months. What's exciting is that we can hire (literally) anyone worldwide to play on your record.
3 - Project Details
How can we use your money wisely while giving you a product you love? Personally, I prefer doing fewer higher quality tracks versus doing several lower/medium quality tracks. 1 great tracks is worth 100 ones that are kinda meh. Know what I mean?
4 - Timeline
We set tangible goals, which usually involve:
Refining the song/parts
Temp Recording
Studio dates
Mixing/Mastering
Delivery
Live event producer
In 2019, Steve co-produced a charity event for BANC (Benevolent Artists National Charity). This was a 6-month project that included:
Securing talent
Marketing and promotion
Sponsorship and fundraising
Orchestrating a 52-person choir
Management of tech, light and sound
Artist Transportation and accommodation
Tour support
The night was a great success, making nearly 100k for our 3 charities. To learn more about BANC, visit:
