Steve started singing in bands at the age of twelve,, influenced by my father who sang barbershop and my grandfather who had his own Big Band and played piano.

Steve's ancestors came to the US from Belgium in 1886 and played for their passage by being the entertainment on the steam ship.

I played trumpet since the age of ten in the North Haledon Community Band and continued playing through  Manchester Regional High School in Haledon, NJ in the marching and concert band.

Starting my own first group with friend Joe Rizzo, we built STREETLIGHT into one of the top show groups in the North Jersey area, and they are still performing today.

I have also appeared with J.T. CARTER and CO. formerly of The CRESTS,  The Fabulous INFERNOS SHOW BAND, and The Classics IV Tribute .

I have appeared all over the tri state area, Madison Square Garden, The Continental Airlines Arena,  

Philadelphia Spectrum,  Nassau Coliseum,   and Atlantic City Showrooms.

Working with Michael, Howard and Jason in The Symphonics is a dream. The level of talent and friendship is second to none.

Many thanks to Bobby Wells, Bobby Stefinelli,   J.T. and Lee Carter and Michael Schiavo,  who helped me get to where I am today.

Steve operates the Sound and arranges vocals and tracks for the Symphonics.

Steve lives with his wife and best friend of many years Terry ( Giampino ) in Netcong, NJ.

  High Bridge, New Jersey  

 

I have always had a profound love for music. I taught myself how to play guitar and sing at eleven years old. During high

 school I performed at many local coffee shops. I also started a doo wop group called the “Miracle Men.” The “Miracle

 Men” performed and won many competitions up and down the East Coast. I continued to perform in theatre, at

 weddings, corporate functions, and the like for many years. I thank God everyday for allowing me to sing for you. In

 2004 I started performing with “Desire.” I left the group in 2009 to take care of my then newborn daughter. As you can

 see, I couldn’t stay away! Let me help bring back the memories of days gone by…………….Jason 

  

Jason uses a Shure Wireless SM58

Jason is married to Laural and has two wonderful  children
