Steve on the Sticks

I’m a lifelong writer who taught myself drums in my late 30s. Writing has gotten me out of some very dark places; drumming gave me a target for the writings.

All the drums in my songs are actually me drumming. I’ve created all music for my songs in a program (for example, Beepbox or SOUNDRAW), ensuring I have proper copyright to all music generated with AI assistance. All lyrics (unless specifically noted, which would only be to embrace the art of a song) are my own copywrited writings. I love writing about life in general, human behaviors, corruption, love, technology, and emotions. I record and edit my vocals with programs (such as autotune, audio filters, and/or AI manipulation).

Lately I'm embracing AI as my band, but only AI that I have a variety of controls beyond a single prompt. Building my own songs helps me stay focused on controlling my emotions, helping me to become a better drummer.

Whether it’s humor or emotion, lyrics or instrumentals, I genuinely hope you enjoy.
