Steve mostly sings in English, but is also comfortable in French, Spanish and Italian. Steve was a regular in Las Vegas for years, working at such venues as the Riviera Hotel, the Dunes, and Liberace's Tivoli Gardens Restaurant. He has also worked at many 5 star hotels, the prestigious University Club in Washington, D.C. where many of the federal government elite gathered. The last 10 years, Steve has worked in the cruise ship industry for Royal Carribean and Celebrity Cruise Lines, hand picked to bring out the world's largest ship in it's time, the Voyager of the Seas.
