Born in 1970, Steve started to play the saxophone and study classical music at the Conservatoire d’Esch-Sur-Alzette in 1980. During an advanced classical training course his teacher , John Harle , let his students listen to a cd of the group Steps Ahead with their saxophone player Michael Brecker. From this moment on , he knew that this was the music he wanted to learn and maybe master this style of music.

After starting his “jazz career” as a saxophone player with the Big Band Spectrum he also gained knowledge of this fabulous music in taking master classes with Jiggs Whigham and many other world class players like: Mike Dubaniewicz (Maynard Ferguson Big Band), Rick Keller, Pierrick Pedron, Frank Spaniol, Bob Mintzer, and many more just to name a few.

He then became a jazz student at the conservatoires in Esch with Ernie Hammes an George Letellier and in Luxembourg with Gast Waltzing, Rom A. Heck, Jeroen Van Herzeele, Erwin Vann and Guy Cabay.

He is one of the few founding members of the “Tribute to Big Band Jazz Orchestra” becoming the Luxembourg Jazz Orchestra.

He played with D’Juju, Blues Women and Whiskey, Saxifaction, Salsabor, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Repairing, Park Café, musicians such as Bob Mintzer, Michel Camilo , New York Voices , John Faddis , Slide Hampton , Jensen Sisters , Phil Abraham , Andrea Toffanelli , Feddy Cole and many others with the LJO and can be heard on several cd’s with local bands and abroad.
