Steve wanted to be a guitarist when he was ten. He had heard Slash’s playing and thought that guitar solos were the best thing ever. When he was twelve he decided that he wanted to be a drummer but they would be too loud so he started playing guitar instead. To cut a very long story short, here he is now in Circadian Pulse playing progressive metal. He still wants to be a drummer, but the guitar is cool enough.
