Steve is the bomb. Absolutely brilliant guitar player, with that nice an fuzzy vibe. A great blend of vintage sound and modern playing !

Steve was great to work with- super nice guy, very receptive to my instructions, while still adding his own sound and flavor. Very fast turn-around times- recommended!
I worked with Steve on my most recent project and have only the highest level of respect for his talent. A total pro, with a very experienced ear, his contributions with electric guitar and bgv's were top notch. Steve will undoubtedly be my first call and recommendation in the future.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Indie/Folk/Surfy/Psychadelic/Acoustic
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: The song is the most important thing. I write my own solo stuff, in my band ØZWALD and help with my buddy Jason Wade (lifehouse)'s solo productions. Being an artist also, I try to stay out of the way of the song itself and respect the vibe that thing musician is going for and just support it with as much vibe as I can.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Love hearing the artist's song first, and some references can help or just a direction. Really enjoy the remote workflow of getting in and just trying things to see what feels like it fits in the song. A lot of times it might be the opposite instrumentation that we thought going in, but usually the song decides for us.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Recently bought an old Altec mixer which has been such a blast to use on everything - I recorded everything on my solo record here which is worth checking out. Have a vintage drumset that's always mic'd and ready to record, a collection of awesome 60s guitars, a Wurlitzer and Organ. All of the tasty treats.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Such a fan of all that is happening in the Indie/Folk world right now. Andy Shauf, Julia Jacklin, Sam Evian. Huge fan of self-recording artists like myself who play/produce everything themselves and all of the fun vintage sounds that have seemed to become at the forefront of the genre.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most artists send me their vocals and an accompanying instrument whether it be guitar or piano, and I finish out the rest of the production/mix with the artist.
