| International Steinway Artist, Steve Hall, has been playing the piano
since the age of five, having been classically trained until the age of
eighteen. He then developed a music career and continued to pursue it on a
part-time basis, playing at thousands of weddings and private parties (including
those of the rich and the famous.) Upon graduation from USC (majoring in history
with a minor in music,) he began a management career in banking, which lasted
almost twenty five years. Most recently he was the vice president of the Bank of
Hollywood in Toluca Lake, California. Steve has been many-times honored in
banking, yet music has remained his passion. He became known as "/the Banker
With The Beat." At every event where he performed, Steve's music and styling
received tremendous attention. Enthusiastic fans began to request recorded
samples of his music. Encouraged by his family and friends, and with
overwhelming response, Bankbeat Productions, Inc. was born in July of 1992 with
the recording of his first album, "Notes of Romance." The music sold rapidly and
was soon picked up by national distributing companies for sale in art and gift
shops like ANGEL'S GARDEN. Ten years and many recordings later, Bankbeat
Productions, Inc. has sold over 1.2 million albums! ANGEL'S GARDEN currently
offers twenty-eight of Steve Hall's musical collection. Steve categorizes his
music as "great-sounding, heart-warming, familiar tunes." He attributes his
musical success to his attentiveness toward people and what they want to hear.
His father had always told him to play from the heart, and encouraged him to
share God's gift of music with others. Indeed, it is his music's uplifting
appeal and familiarity that has earned Steve a loyal following from people of
all walks of faith. Steve has recorded a variety of music styles, including
popular show tunes, standards, classical, romantic, inspirational, Celtic,
Christmas, and patriotic. He considers himself very blessed to be surrounded by
such gifted musicians and to have met so many wonderful people relating to the
recording experience. Steve has performed solo and with his ensemble in many
venues throughout the United States and Canada. 2002 new releases include
"Angels Among Us" (peaceful and healing music featuring Steve with Dan Savant
and Mike Watts), "Hearts in Harmony" {piano duet romantic album with Mary Beth
Carlson) and Steve's newest release, "Sweet Dreams" (treasured lullaby
classics.) |
