He was born in San Lorenzo (California) in 1969 into a musically

inclined family. He had no idea that his life would so closely

parallel the life of Stevie Wonder. At the age of 9 Steven was accepted into

the prestigious San Francisco Boys Chorus, he performed with the chorus until

the age of 12. During his years with the San Francisco Boys Chorus, he had the

opportunity to perform at major functions across the United States including

The White House Christmas special during President Carter’s Administration

in 1978. At the age of 12 he was diagnosed with a rare eye disorder,

Retinitis pigmentosa. At this time, he was informed that he would be blind

by his mid-twenties. Although the physician’s diagnosis came true, just as

Stevie Wonder, he would not allow this to hold him back.

Being born into a family with strong Southern Baptist roots did not hurt

at all, his grandmother born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi was

a popular gospel vocalist in her own right. Traveling in the circle of gospel

greats such as Mahalia Jackson, David & Delores Winan, her musical influence

was passed down to her daughter and subsequently to her grandson.

The vocal ability that was nurtured by his family since the age of 9 years old

brought itself to the forefront. Tapping into this talent and his other senses,

He soon became an accomplished vocalist and musician

of his own. While in college, he majored in vocal Arts and minored in

Stage Craft, during this time he performed in several University level

musicals such as Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, and Fiddler on the

Roof, to name a few.

Graduating from Cal Berkley in 1992 he set out to pursue his

musical career. From 1992 to 1994 he worked as a session vocalist at

the renowned Fantasy Studios in Berkley, California. Shortly after this time

he found himself fronting a popular Hard Rock group from the

San Francisco Bay area by the name of Legion where he shared the stage

with such names as Gregg Allman, Peter Criss, Jefferson Starship and White

Snake and many more. During the late nineties he found himself on the

other side of the Pacific in Australia where he was a cast member in the on

stage musical Soul Train, which was a Tribute to 60’s and 70’s R&B.  Upon

his return to the States, not being able to stay away from the stage for very

long, he auditioned for and got the position as lead vocalist in a Casino show

band called “Memphis Rising”. Memphis Rising was an R&B review celebrating

the music of Stacks Records, this show was quite successful performing in Las Vegas

for several years.

of America’s musical icons,

Stevie Wonder.
