Composer/Conductor/Producer
A multi-hyphenate music powerhouse and creative visionary, Steve Hackman is a daring voice intent on redefining art music in the 21st century. Trained at the elite level classically but equally adept in popular styles, his breadth of musical fluency and technique is uncanny—he is at once a composer, conductor, producer, DJ, arranger, songwriter, singer, and pianist. He uses these polymathic abilities to create original music of incisive modernism yet rooted in elevated classicism. His groundbreaking orchestral fusions, such as Brahms X Radiohead and The Resurrection Mixtape (Mahler X Notorious BIG X Tupac Shakur), are introducing the symphony orchestra to its future audience; he has conducted these pieces to sellout houses across the country with the orchestras of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Dallas, Seattle, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Colorado, Phoenix, Nashville, Oregon, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids, Columbus, Colorado Music Festival, and the Boston Pops.

You made the string version of “So She Leapt, Unburdened, Into The Unknown” my most-streamed track. What you might not know is that the piano version came first: improvised, raw, one of the very first songs I wrote for my upcoming album ‘Sacred Math.’ That’s where it all started. Both versions out now with music videos

You know me for the orchestra. For the fusions. For the big productions. But everything I do starts here, at the piano. Sitting down and just improvising. ‘Sacred Math’ is me coming home. Out August 21, 2026. 🎹 Presave now: lnk.dmsmusic.co/stevehackman_sacredmath

This piece was born in a single creative act. Just sat down, let something come through, and this is what arrived. That’s how everything on ‘Sacred Math’ was created. “Except I Shall See, I Will Not Believe” is out now. Presave the full album, out August 21 lnk.dmsmusic.co/stevehackman_sacredmath

I've spent a long time inside Taylor Swift's world: her music, her storytelling, and her sheer tenacity in building all she's built. And the more time I spent with her songs, the more convinced I became: this music was always meant for strings ☺️🎻.
’The Taylor Swift Suite’ is six orchestral reimaginations of some of her most powerful work, from ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ to “All Too Well” in its complete 10+ minute form. It's out June 19, with “All Too Well” arriving May 29 and “Blank Space” on June 5.
And there's more coming. I'll be announcing new dates for ‘Taylor Swift: The Symphony Era’, a full orchestral production weaving together 42 of her songs, performed live with orchestra, band and vocalists. Subscribe at the link in bio to be the first to know.
To every Swiftie: I hope you hear something new in these songs. I'm right there with you. 🎻

I have been building toward this for years. 'I CAN'T CHANGE' and 'THIS CONDITION OF LOVE' are out now. The rest of 2026 is scheduled, and it is all connected.
Coming soon:
April: 'KENDRICK LAMAR' (string orchestra reimaginings)
May: 'SACRED MATH' (original piano improvisations and impromptus)
June: 'TAYLOR SWIFT' (string orchestra reimaginings)
August: 'BRAHMS X RADIOHEAD' (live fusion recording)
October: 'AT WORK' (original ballet score)
I know this is an unconventional way to release music. Most artists pick one lane. One sound. One identity to build a brand. I have spent years being told to simplify, to cut things out, to make the message more digestible. Being told that the PROBLEM is that there is too much going on.
The ‘covers’. The originals. The piano. The orchestra. The fusion. The songs.
I’m sorry, I won’t pick one.
I do not want to discard any part of what I do just to fit into a single box. I want to share the full picture. I want to show that my heart is in each and every one of these. After alI: I can’t change this condition of love…
So this is 2026. Instead of asking you to wait years between releases, I am sharing everything I have been building. Sharing one project every ~6 weeks.
Then we’ll be more or less caught up to speed. Just another dozen or show fusion productions to go, a few more original albums, and a little project known as THE BRINK… 😎
Join the my list at the link in bio to get notified about every release, and please subscribe to me on your preferred streaming service. THANK YOU for listening❤️
