Steve Harvey

Stephen Laurence Harvey aka “The Scotsman”
was born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1959, moving to London, England at the close of the seventies and then out to Los Angeles in 1990. The son of a musician, he first began piano lessons at age six, forsaking the instrument four years later in favor of his real love – drums.

By age 16 he was in his father’s band, touring the nightclub circuit in Aberdeen. Initially Steve had learned to play by jamming along with his dad’s Glenn Miller, Sinatra and Ray Charles records. During his teenage, however, he discovered seventies rock giants like Bowie, Hendrix, Roxy, Yes, The Eagles and Zeppelin. But it was when he got into black American music, and Stevie Wonder in particular, that he really found his muse.
