Mars’ musical style is truly his own drawing on influences across the rock map from 60’s British invasion to 70’s LA rock to 80’s/90’s Alternative.

Joyseed recorded more than 20 songs - most of which were Mars’ originals. Always one to write about matters of the heart - Steevan’s lyrics are personal and seem to come from the core of his soul, You may think, is he singing about me?
