At twenty two years old, Steve Appleton has certainly served his apprenticeship in the music industry.
Born and raised in Surrey, Steve made an amazing connection with music while growing up. He started learning the piano age 6, writing classical pieces in the style of Beethoven and Rachmaninoff by age 11.
Aged fifteen, Steve started playing piano in one of London's top West End restaurants. Playing twice a week he built up a huge repertoire of songs, filling the 4-hour shift by improvising around covers of his favorite artists.
Steve has an ear for a tune and an eye for an incredible live show, performing on the same bill with artists such as Jay-Z and John Legend, and adding to his live CV has enjoyed playing at festivals such as Glastonbury, Wireless, Hard Rock Calling and Japan's Summer Sonic.
Steve is about to release his Jet Plane EP which is a stunningly well written collection of tracks that show Steve to be a true song-writer, producer and artist. After spending much of the last year traveling and touring around Asia this self-produced EP is now released worldwide, giving UK fans and others from around the globe a chance to hear the fantastic new music this young artist has been working so hard on.
