‘It’s simple for me. George Michael is a musical legend.’ Steve’s love for his music started in 1984 on hearing his then girlfriend play “Everything She Wants”. From that day on and pretty much every day since then he’s been singing George’s songs, finding his tones and nuances.
‘‘Everytime I go on stage I feel his music flowing through me. My wish is that the audience feel that too.’
