Steve Balsamo
Born and raised in Swansea, I started out singing in rock bands as a teenager before I came to the public's attention in the mid '90s in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar.
Signing to Columbia Records soon after, I was molded into a poppy/rocky/folky/country-ish artist - nothing like covering all the bases - and made an album, 'All I Am'. Despite the musical schizophrenia, I had a ton of fun travelling the world and writing lots of songs, and I even got to play live on Top Of The Pops.
Along with 3 mates I formed a country rock band, The Storys, made 3 albums and toured the globe with the great and the good. I then recorded an Americana/Country album with Rosalie Deighton called 'Unfolding'.
I am part of an ongoing prog/electronica project with Rob Reed of Magenta called ChimpanA - we've just completed our second album.
I've written songs for Meatloaf, Slash, Cliff and worked with heroes Jon Lord of Deep Purple and Eric Woolfson of The Alan Parsons Project.
