Details:
SteveParadise is an independent multi media artist. I've been playing guitar and keyboards all my life, and experiment in a wide horizon of styles and sounds. You can find a little of everything in my music. I'm a self taught artist and am happy to hear from other artists and people for collaboration or just to hear their thoughts.I would classify myself more as a song writer than a performer but I am comfortable on stage. Hope you enjoy the music, .Steve.

About the music:

01. SandRinFLA:

This is an introduction sound clip to open the door to the rest of the CD. to put you off balance so you don't know what to expect.

02. IndestructableYouth:

The title pretty much describes the energy I was trying to create for this song. There is also video I made to this one that you can see on my U-Tube and My Space site.
That's my very first motorbike in the video, Suzuki Katana 750, I loved that bike! But it broke too many of my bones!

03. SateliteKids:

What are Satellite kids, it's a term used to describe the children of affluent parents sent to western schools to study on their own. Set them up with house car and allowance. The parents live in Asia, Africa or the Middle east and rarely see their Kids. Originated from Hong Kong.

04. IwantMyMoney:

The man wants his Money!

05. Sex Sells:

It's true Sex Sells, This song is not so much a commentary as it is an observation on our reality. There is also a video of this song on My U-Tube and My Space site.

06. JumpInToMySkin:

This song developed itself building from the drum riff and simple keyboard pattern. It was more about creating a mood, an attitude than anything else. I've gotten a lot of positive feed back from this tune. Have a listen. There is also a video of this song on My U-Tube and My Space site. This is the first video I ever made and so it really more a show case of i-movie effects more than anything else.

Like sex sells this is not really a commentary or judgement but an observational song, What are we doing.

08. Everybody Knows:

The song talks about how we are all basically the same yet feel isolated. There is also a video of this song on My U-Tube and My Space site.

09. SunSand&Sea:

I wanted to write something up beat and so this is what i cam up with have a listen, hope you like it.

10. IwantMyCable:

The man wants his cable, and he wants it really bad! This is for adult listeners, and it should make you laugh. The punch line is great. I'm working on a video for his one.

11. WhenYourAnArtist:

Trying to describe what it's like to be an artist. So all you kids out there have a listen and if you have a choice, My warning to you is don't be an artist! There is also a video of this song on My U-Tube and My Space site.

12. Take My Pain:

I wrote the music with no lyrics in mind, and then one day I tried to just sing to the song to see what would come out. Here are the results.

13. HandGunJim:

Hand gun jim is a fictional character I invented for this song, His name is Jim, He Lives in a gym, he has a dog called Jim and a cat called Jim and a Bird called Jim but he doesn't like the bird because it's name is Jim! There is also a video of this song on My U-Tube and My Space site. If you like this song check out the video for Jimmy with a "G" as well.
