Steven is the creator & composer for this genre-bending project. He writes the songs and builds the musical foundation. A musician & songwriter since 1986, he penned his first tracks at 17.

Using modern AI audio platforms as elite session musicians to generate stems, he then surgically arranges, scores, and masters the tracks, pushing the boundaries of AI-driven arrangement & modern digital orchestration while keeping the soul of the music undeniably human.
