While previously pursuing his passion and dream of music at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2010, Steve has come to the conclusion that every singer/songwriter has a different story to tell. He wants to express his story to the world by incorporating his passion and love for music with the essence of music and have such a huge impact that his story isn’t forgotten, but remembered like the greats that paved the way for him.

T. S. MONK-DRUMMER/BANDLEADER/COMPOSER:
“Well, I must say that the young Mr. McLean brings to the stage, the presence and magnetism of a Luther Vandross, and combines it with the elegance and sophistication of a Billy Ekstein. A ridiculous package at his tender age. Stephen is a future star for sure, so I would suggest you catch him now! He’s a real thriller
