The son of a preacher man, Steve
first came to prominence in the steel city of
Sheffield, UK where he immersed himself in the
thriving music scene working with the likes of Finlay
Quaye and Mark Brydon of Moloko. Soon after, Steve was
brought into the PRESENCE project - alongside Shara
Nelson of Massive Attack fame by legendary DJ/ house
music producer Charles Webster making "a seriously
great album - 11/10"- DJ Magazine, which includes
‘Better Day’ & ‘Future Love’.
Since that time, Steve’s reputation has grown
within the music industry and has written / performed
for other important artists including: - BASEMENT JAXX,
MOLOKO, XPRESS 2, and also with CASSIUS with whom he
wrote and performed the now legendary ‘Sound Of
Violence’ which was a US Billboard #1 smash.
Steve also finds time to write
songs for Italian dance maestros STARCHASER with whom
he had the European smash ‘Falling Star’ & has
performed their future release ‘Fate’. Another
respected outfit are BLACK SPIDER who had a smash with
the Edwards penned ‘Heart Of The Sun’ and are
due to release another Edwards gem, ‘Walls Of
Science’ on the legendary Blanco y Negro label.
Steve has recently added his
considerable writing & vocal talents to more involved
projects such as the BENT album ‘ARIELS (MoS) and the
critically acclaimed album ‘TROUBLE from KINGS OF
TOMORROW (Defected).
By far, one of Steve’s biggest
tracks to date is the now massive anthem ‘Watch The
Sunrise’ with Swedish uber house producer, Axwell,
which is included on all the biggest comps worldwide.
The pair will drop more bombs in the near future so
look out.
Steve is now effectively head

for his imaginative writing & unique voice. He is
currently working with Michael Gray, has just
finished a ‘future top ten’ single with Dab Hands
entitled ‘D.Y.O.T’ and has written & performed
3 songs for Bob Sinclar’s upcoming album, which
includes the glorious ‘Eco House’ anthem, ‘World,
Hold On’ which is already being bootlegged & is
the follow-up to the worldwide smash hit Love
Generation.
In addition to this, Steve’s
track ‘Big Strong Love’ has just been included
on the forthcoming MAW Soul Heaven comp and
there will be a solo single ‘Thru The Night’
coming out on DTPM in the near future, not to mention
that Steve is one third of the new, electro hip-house
hooligans Ape Generals whose mash up of Buffalo
Stance titled ‘Padded Bra’ is set for release
on Nebula.
Steve has also been remixing
tracks for the likes of Mr. Timothy ft Inaya Day –
