Steven Trio Profile Photo

Author, Jazz Pianist, Composer and Comedy Writer.

Steven Trio is a jazz pianist, composer, songwriter and author whose creative career has taken him from the legal profession to music, comedy and storytelling.

Introduced to the piano at eight, Steven was composing by fourteen and developed a passion for jazz, blues, funk, soul, reggae and Latin American music. Despite his ambitions to become a professional musician, he initially followed his father's advice and qualified as a solicitor - only to abandon the profession six months later.

His subsequent musical career included songwriting success in South America, before his interest in language and wordplay led him towards poetry and comedy writing.

His books include *Boobydoo*, *Burn and Yearn*, *The Jazzgate Scandal* and *A Voice to Die For*, combining absurdist humour, satire and imaginative storytelling.

Steven is now exploring film adaptations of his work, including *A Voice to Die For*.
