As artists, we all have aspirations of commercial success, fortune and fame but what’s most important to Steel is building an ever-lasting legacy through his music. Originating from New York , Steel is part of the next generation of artists evolving their own unique sounds in the city where Hip Hop began. You can’t compare Steel to any other artist; mainstream or underground, Steels art has its own influence. His music has been featured on sites such as ThatsNuff.com, InFlexWeTrust.com, HipHopWired.com, and NahRight.com. After rocking a live freestyle performance on XM Radio’s “Sway In The Morning Show” this past year, Steels social media presence has taken off.
His passion for making soulful hip hop music lives well beyond the studio – give Steel a live band and watch the vibe get elevated even higher. Audiences say Steel’s presence, energy, confidence and delivery can command any crowd’s attention. He’s conquered the stages at historic venues such as S.O.B’s, The Knitting Factory, Drom NYC, Webster Hall, E.O.W, and Hot 97’s “Who’s Next?” event.
Steel recently concluded his 7th consecutive SXSW tour (2013-2019) in Austin, TX, where he was previously asked to fill in an additional spot between ‘T K & Cash’ and ‘PNB Rock’. Steel’s passion and presence kept the crowd both energized and engaged between both big acts, with an undeniable ease. He’s been invited to perform at AC3, Atlanta’s prominent Hip-Hop event. Steel is also pushing for international success as he’s just completed his 5th International tour (Asia & Europe). He even conducted a packed writer’s workshop in Asia which allowed him to connect with fans in Kaohsiung, Taipei, Tainan, and Taiwan.
In addition to his love for live performances, Steel is always challenging his penmanship to get deeper with the metaphors and more clever with the wordplay. In addition to writing his own bangers, he’s ghostwritten material for many acts which has afforded him opportunities to work indirectly with legendary artists like Mob Deep, Ghostface Killa, Talib Kweli, and Nas.
Steel’s aim to build a genuine Hip Hop legacy is based on crafted lyrical content and skills that deliver stories which ultimately connects deeply with fans.
