Filling each musical moment with emotions and colors that can only come from one’s soul, his saxophone is the tool used to tell a story. His story! His voice!! His WAY!!!

Hailing from the musically rich city of “Brotherly Love” – Philadelphia, PA, Steven Bundick (better known as Steven B.), began his musical journey at age five playing the clarinet. By the age of thirteen he switched to the alto saxophone and developed rather quickly. He started playing in area R&B bands - performing for private parties, street concerts and other local social events.
