Steve began studying classical violin at the age of four, this continued for the next 15 years. at which point Steve explored other avenues of music, playing guitar in a rock band.

In 1994, Steve discovered Celtic music and joined "The Swinish Multitude", a Canadian based band playing a combination of traditional Celtic and rock music. After much success, "The Swinish multitude" decided to go their own separate ways, and Life After 9 came to be.

About a year ago the core members of LA9, Steve, Nancy and Arch arrived in Thailand, leaving behind Steve's brother, Dan on drums and Nelson on the accordion, after many auditions of exceptional Thai talent, Oat and Tum joined the band.

Steve has gone on to capture crowds across the country with his superior fiddling talent, and to provide audiences with an unforgettable experience.
