Steve's bio

Steve first sat behind a kit at the age of 8 when his father brought home an old mongrel kit he'd been playing in a band with work colleagues. For Steve, it was an epiphany! He spent the next twelve years under the guidance of legendary drum tutor Albert Cooper, and by 18, was teaching his own students.

The Guildhall School of Music and Drama grades behind him, and Albert no longer able to progress him, Steve put his efforts into expanding his studio and theatre repertoire. Earning a name in the business for his fresh approach to kit work, and melodic time keeping, Steve worked in many musical arenas - theatre, studio, radio, corporate bands, and depping/recording/playing for many different artists.

However, Steve's passion lies with jazz-fusion, and is a dedicated fan of Chick Corea and Dave Weckl. His initial grounding as a jazz drummer has always made it's way up to the surface regardless of the current project, giving Steve's playing a very melodic feel. The excitement, unpredictability, colour and creativity of Chick and Dave's work have kept Steve's ambition to start his own fusion band very much alive in spite of a very busy schedule. Although finding himself in demand by a wide variety of educational establishments from the Birmingham Conservatoire to Cleo Laine and Johnny Dankworth's Stables Theatre, Steve still found time to lay the foundations for birth of his band, Quartershift - the leadership of which he handed on to his saxophonist, Al Garza, in February 2008 allowing Steve to continue working on many other projects, whilst remaining in the band he founded.
