ABOUT

Hi, my name is Steve Paxton. I am a professional
keyboardist/vocalist with over 25 years of experience.
I am well-versed in many genres. I’m a songwriter,
session player and have toured with major label artists.
With my experience and in-home recording studio,
I am available to discuss how I can assist you with your
next project.

For working bands, I am also available for gigs and/or sessions.
Contact me by email, call/text.

Attn: Songwriters

I have been writing songs for many years.
I have learned from some of the best writers' in the industry
and would be glad to share my knowledge with you.

I lived in Nashville for 15 years, then on the West Coast
for about 7 years. I have been blessed to work with so many
talented and gifted musicians, vocalists, songwriters and producers.
Thankfully, some of their knowledge rubbed off on me.

So if you're having trouble coming up with words, melodies
musical hooks etc., allow me to help your song get to the next level.
Looking forward to working with you!
