Screw the music secret business stuff, I have been torn up throughout all my life & every aspect of it & all my songs are about how screwed up my life, love & the world is. So Listen to my songs & buy or don't buy I could care less. Most people have to be told what is good or bad anyway & don't have a mind of their own to make decisions that have not been told to them by the media. I do have 19 new CD's out in 2008 & 22 altogether which can be listened to & bought at http://www.cdbaby/all/stevehill

Bio/History-Steve Hill
These 19 (22 altogether) are concept CD's like all my CD's, my life's story through 22 CD's. Rock-Indie alt-folk/Punk Attitude Raw, Edgy, Dynamic & Dreamy & Moving. The CD's are about life & being on the road playing music for 15 years with Bi-Polar, Depression, ADD & a major addiction to highs. Luckily my biggest high was playing music & taking it to places higher & higher each performance. Drugs, alcohol & women were around and I took them all in, but I never let them get in the way of my music. MY MUSIC ALWAYS CAME FIRST.
Like all my music/Lyrics I sing & say things that most of us feel & thing but never dare talk about. This music will move you no matter what your preference is in any type of music. just a little note, "I hate what the music biz has done, basically spitting out trash to the public. Not all music but most of it is commercial bullshit.Starting off 2008 I have put 19 CD's, the other 3 have a similar concept, together they are basically my life's story & experiences in the music business, life, love, anger, spirituality, political, quantum physic's. Although this is about my life everyone will connect most of these songs with their own life experiences at some level. My lyrics say all those things we think & feel but never talk about, why??? Because we have been programed to say, "I'm feeling great today & how about this weather".
And I have to add that although it's not politically correct (which I don't give a shit about & nothing in my songs are & I would never want them to be, I deliver the cold hard truth) death & suicide have always been on my mind even at an early age, I don't know why, but it's actually kept me going through such a rocky life.
The music is a combination of Rock-Alt Indie-Emo-Classic Rock-Alt Americana-Alt Folk-Alt Punk-Love songs-Alt country-Alt Urban Funk raw, edgy, Dynamic, Melting & Dreamingly moving with a Straight forward attitude telling it like it is. All 19 CD's have a theme & in the lyrics & some of the CD titles are riddles to figure out.
I have also since the age of 18, been Playing, Recording, Writing & Producing some of the biggest names in music & some you have never heard of & in most cases the least known talents we're the best I worked with.
I write, sing, play Guitar, Bass, Keys, Drums & Produce all my music.
Instead of beating around the bush I come right out & tell it like it is. My music is aggressive, dramatic, offensive, to the point, delicate, about love & anger or just plain love, etc.. You can listen to all songs & buy by the CD or you can buy by the song on many sites one being I-Tunes. You will be able to buy in many stores but I do not know which ones.
Check it out and if my music doesn't change your life....you can keep the one you've got.
At the age of 16 thrusted into the music business because of my guitar playing ability all I wanted to do was play & write music. But it was the other part of the music business that tore me up. After being chewed up & spit out a million times I retreated to the Wyoming hills to write music & sing & shout & bleed through my Guitar/Bass/Keys/& Drumming about life, injustice, love & loss, Quantum Physics, Spirituality, etc.. All those things we hold deep inside & of us all & never let out, well now it's out.

You can contact me by e-mail at - stevehill848@msn.com - and buy direct from me if you would like.
I have also written a book which is like scattered thoughts of sexual, political, spiritual kind of Slam-Poetry called "Splyntered Thoughts".
This writing just started coming out of me after after I died in a auto wreck & was brought back to life. I was offered a publishing deal but turned it down as I thought that these writings were just to heavy spiritually & sexually. But the more I live I find everyone is more like me then I thought. If I get enough people that want a copy I will print some not for profit but just for the cost of printing & shipping as even my CD's there is very little profit as I want people to listen to truths that have been hidden for a long time about what is really going on around & inside us.

The plain facts were that my Grandfather was a musician & an alcoholic which affected my Father immensely. So He thought alcohol was the problem so he didn't drink but he acted just like one.
That affected me so much that I escaped into music as i felt so insecure to the point that I felt I was unwanted as a son/child/person. My Mother was & still is the most loving person in the whole world but that still did not fill my empty hole which music did. I was made for music & the situation that was created was a match made in Heaven. I would play & write music for hours that turned into days on end thinking that was a normal way of being, which to me it was..... at 9 years old.
At 6 My Father had me play a Chet Atkins song for a friend of his since I could play so well at that age. I played accordion for 3 years from 8 to 11 & performed at church almost every week. I played Oboe at those same ages doing school concerts all the while still playing & writing on guitar. I was always very nervous playing in front of an audience. I played in my first band at 13, a battle of the bands deal-We Won, although I'm sure we sounded like shit & from then on I jammed with records, anyone, anywhere I could & was always in at least 2 or more bands at one time & started playing money gigs at 14.
All this was happening thinking everything was normal but what was really happening is I was taking every emotion, feeling, life experiences in general & relating it to playing music and having it come out through playing music. Playing in bars at 13 with 35 year old players & telling them what the right chords were seemed normal to me as I understood music theory, & everything appeared normal. I did however make a lot of funny faces, as I was playing directly from my soul even at a young age knowing how each note would produce a feeling/emotion before I hit it, while I was playing, as I know now, music was how I communicated everything to the world.
I could honestly say that 99.9% of women who have seen me play live say that it looks like I am making love to my guitar, which I do, as that is the only way I know how to connect to the world and everything about, in & around it.
I have felt suicidal all my life not understanding what I was all about. Now living with those feelings for so long I still have those thoughts but don't act on them as I have so many times in the past.
In a sentence I am a Street Wise Idiot Savant not knowing how to survive without music in my life. There has been times when I am outside my body looking down at myself playing, but as soon as that happens I come back down. Also I can feel sick like I am close to death & start playing the guitar, keyboard or bass & in a snap of a finger I feel full-filled, alive & Blissful.
I started writing & playing huge stadiums with major Artists/Stars at 18 & because of my guitar playing ability was always busy by request for playing(studio-live), writing, producing, arranging-anything involving music . I always had several bands that I played with all at one time throughout the United States & most of you have never even heard of me. Now with these 22 CD's are out you can here a Quirky individual, freak of Nurture & Nature intensely Playing the most soul filling music you will ever hear.
