PRESS KIT
ARTISTS BRIEF
Steve Michael delivers guitar-driven pop-rock infused with vintage New Wave sensibilities. His music mixes the clever craftmanship of classic songwriters such as The Beatles and Carole King with the lyrical bite of Squeeze and Elvis Costello. Based in SW France and with frequent creative stints in the UK, the result is a vibrant, melodic pop-rock sound that is both deeply nostalgic and highly infectious.
PRESS RELEASE
Steve has newly released an album “Arrow of Time” which comprises 11 well crafted pop/rock compositions recorded at La Foret Studios, SW France with Producer Garry King. The album incorporates the highly acclaimed (by his Mum) 2023 EP release “Don't be a Stranger”. The album is available on all major streaming platforms HERE.
ARTISTS BIO
Born in Iraq to an Iraqi Christian (Chaldean) father and an English mother, Steve grew up in Colchester, Essex to a soundtrack of music from the 70's and '80's. In his early thirties, Steve developed an interest in songwriting inspired by his passion for pop-rock, blues and Soul from the 1950's and 1960's onwards. Steve's life experiences include a School Teaching career, Fatherhood and living abroad, and together with his varied musical influences he has succeeded in creating songs that offer a blend of musical styles and engaging lyrics.
In his creations Steve enjoys exploring timeless qualities and universal themes, which can be demonstrated by his songs “In a Thousand Years” and “Arrow of Time”. He also likes to explore satirical themes through his rock and blues roots in songs such as “Dead or Alive” or “Don't be a Stranger”.
