MY INFLUENCES INCLUDE STEVEN TYLER OF AEROSMITH, BRENT OF SHINEDOWN, ALICE COOPER, MAYNNARD/TOOL, PERRY FERRELL/JANE'S ADDICTION, OZZY OSBOURNE, TOM KIEFER/CINDERELLA, JEFF BUCKLEY, KID ROCK, EMINEM, LENNY KRAVITZ, CHRIS ROBINSON/BLACK CROWES, LEANN RIMES, AND JOHNETTE NAPOLITANO OF CONCRETE BLONDE. I AM NOT BOUND OR HUNG UP IN A PARTICULAR "GENRE".

Alright, here it is the updated biography - MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY LIFE - I DO THANK GOD DAILY FOR THIS THAT HAS FROM ANCIENT TIMES SOOTHED THE MOST TORMENTED SOULS!

I saw the Beatles at the Atlanta Stadium when I was 4 1/2 years old, next show was KISS in 1976, Aerosmith 1976, KISS 1977, Nazareth 1977, and the list goes on and on! Effected heavily! Music or nothing! From then on, dedication to my art!

I have a very supportive wife that has put up with me for 15 years, who, besides music and God, is all that has kept me going, and going strong!

I've just started a new band("Under Your Skin"). Be loking for our website aound here and all over the web soon... Rock with me always!

I told my parents to go on a vacation with the college money, my heart and soul and life has been intensely committed to music from that day forward. I listen and have studied (home studied that is) ALL types of music from Rock, Rap, R&B, Christian, Country, Classic Rock, now even listening to Classical, thanks to a Darlene Miller--check out her Showcase!

I started a band in early '80s and actually got a band together in Huntington Beach! Played at Gazzaris (met up with a couple guys - Stephen Pearcy of NOW Ratt and Tommy Lee NOW of Motley Crue. Well long story short, I brought a girl TO LA, so back to Georgia we came.

I continued writing , writing, writing...I then was BLESSED to gain the best of his talent, taking them from their current bands. These are the musicians you hear on my showcase - a sample of what I've done. "Love Me Avenue" was born. We had the look of the eighties semi-glam bands. We were written about in the paper and described as a mix of Janes Addiction, Alice and Chains and Pink Floyd, but we became too heavy to be called cute LOL!

In 1992, I witnessed a Ministry show, saw Al Jourgensen. In 1992 Scarecrow was born, inspired by the song by Ministry song of the same name

My guitarist, Melvin Davis was stolen from a band while he was on stage, the genius married his guitar - we still play and write together ALWAYS MAGICALLY COMPOSING PERFECTION - some things were meant to be. My bass player, Jeff Fortin, started on classical violin, played a few bad basses - fretless, of course-4,6 strings, and is now a rep. for Alesis. My drummer, Tim Helton, I stole from Hallows Eve.

These 3 geniuses and myself started an entirely new scene that had no "genre". It wasn't 3 months and we were known across the state, every club in Atlanta knew of us and booked us..BIG shows!! Headlining and opening for bands such as Type O Negative, GWAR, LIfe of Agony, etc etc... It was a step away from signing on with a major record label..Marilyn Manson canceled a show we canceled. We went through a few drummers - we did get our orig. back, bass players, etc.. recorded 3 CD's, several tapes, sold merchandise..we had arrived.

Then it came down to the agreements. I worked too hard and wrote too many songs and put my band through way too much to settle, I was told my wife couldn't go on the road with me..so, I didn't sign that contract..my guitarist then moved out to California for a while, bassist left Guitar Center and worked with Gibson then Alesis, Tim went to work for Yamaha. I have a wonderful wife that encourages me and has the same passion for music as I.

I continue to write and have recorded some still with my ever faithful guitarist, that came home from Cali. after 4 years.

THIS LIFE IS ALL I KNOW, ALL I WANT TO KNOW, REALLY. No, I am not going quietly.. - Thank you for reading! ***Steven still holds the #1position on influences #1
