Press
it is hard to resist the charms of this record. His voice has the ability to wrap itself around the words and imbue them with personality appropriate to the lyric being sung. I’ll be holding onto this for a while.” - Americana UK
“ I found myself sort of sucked into it… Lovely lyrics too…and by all accounts, he’s wonderful live.” - Harris, BBC Radio 2 - London, UK
"...pure pop melodies, richly detailed lyrics, and the kind of hooks that hits are made of." - Larry Flick, Billboard Magazine – NYC
“…absorbing lyrics and excellent melodies. Singh sings and plays with the maturity and confidence of some of the best folks out there.” - Babysue.com – Cleveland, USA
"Singh's subject matter is urban and heartfelt -- he humbly explores personal . relationships, chance situations and slice-of-life subtleties with the ease of a gentle breeze." - Kevin Hainey, EYE Magazine-Toronto
“This is a CD filled with humor, sweetness, intelligence and originality. He could have also called it ‘I will not write anything boring or predictable’ - The Muses’ Muse - USA
“Stripped down, intelligent, melodic and lovely…” - Mary Dickie, Toronto Sun
" It's not often that a wordy writer with clever narratives is able to shape them into great songs but Toronto singer/songwriter pulls it off with amazing aplomb." - -Michael Barclay, Exclaim! Magazine – Toronto
“…lullaby melodies that waft in on balmy morning breezes and fade away into still city nights, leaving the scent of romance behind in the air. - "- Mike Davies, Netrhythms.com, UK.

I do everything myself! I don't sit around and wait for anything!!! I have booked 3 U.S. tours and 3 UK tours. I now have an agent in the UK, which is nice and I will be returning there in March. Here's the BIO and Press:
Steve Singh is a Toronto singer-songwriter. Singh has played extensively in the UK and North America with the likes of Bert Jansch, Sarah Harmer, Tom Russel, Ron Sexsmith, Hayden, Pete Morton, John Wesley Harding, Kiki Dee, Jesse Malin, Hawksley Workman, and members of R.E.M. “I’ll Make You Want To Stay” (from “I Will Not Break Your Heart”) is featured in the movie “Sugar” co-starring Sarah Polly.
“ My new record (I Will Not Break Your Heart) is extremely subtle from the production values to the sentiments themselves. I strongly believe that if a song can not be stripped down to its basic elements, then the song itself sucks. Drowning a record in over production is the easiest and lamest thing to do to cover up bad songwriting. This record is little more than lightly embellished. I play most of my shows solo and the record reflects that.”
This record was produced by John Dinsmore (Sarah Harmer, Danny Michel, Sarah Slean, Oh Susanna, Jim Bryson) and Steve Singh. Mark Kesper (Hawksley Workman) played drums and Peter Kesper (Hawksley Workman) played pedal steel. NQ Arbuckle, Robin Black and Scott Acomba all dropped by to add some vocals. Jay Elliot (Cash Brothers, Martin Tielli, Barenaked Ladies, etc) mixed it up at Hawksley Workman's Schoolhouse. Noah Mintz mastered it.
