Steve was a visionary, a mentor, and a very close friend.
I had the incredible honor of working with him for the last fifteen years”.
“Accepting this award means so much to me because music meant so much to him. He told us that music shaped his life…it made him who he was.
Everyone that knows Steve knows the profound impact that artists like Bob Dylan and The Beatles had on him”, he continued. “Steve was focused on bringing music to everyone in innovative ways. We talked about it every single day.
