Whether it’s developing a rich score from scratch or adding the final musical polish to a production, Steve offers end-to-end music solutions including composition, sound design, and audio production tailored to each project.

His inspiration to pursue film scoring began with a single moment: “The first time I listened to a piece of music from film was when my best friend showed me Hans Zimmer’s score from *Interstellar*. It changed my life — the way I listened, felt and wrote music. The belief that Hans leaves in every story is something that still inspires me to this day. I have never looked back. Writing music for film is something I needed to do. There are so many untold stories that the world needs to hear.”

Steve is always open to new collaborations with filmmakers, animators, and creatives seeking a composer who understands the emotional power of music and the nuances of visual storytelling.
