Steve Bass is an independent music composer, arranger, and musician.
He started out as a DJ and moved from playing records to becoming a musician and artist.
He formed an R&B two-man group with a good friend and released two albums while opening for local artists.
After a while the group went their separate ways, he then started producing local artist around NC.
His credits are Rap, R&B, Gospel, Soul artists that did well locally. He did that for about eight years and then he got diagnosed with “MS” and had to slow the production down. So nothing will stop him from doing what he loves, he now composes instrumental background music for TV& movie/film scenes, advertising, radio spots, in-store background music, and music licensing opportunities.
His goals are to become a strong contributor in the music placement and licensing marketing side of things. And hope to do so for many years to come.
