Born and raised on Chicago's Southside, Steven Barry's love affair with music began when he touched the piano keys at a mere six months old. Despite financial constraints, he followed his heart and chose the folk guitar, igniting a passion that would define his musical odyssey.
Endless nights under the covers, tuning in to top 40 hits on his little Magnavox radio, Steven absorbed every melody and lyric. As a pre-teen, he found his calling as a drummer after witnessing the magnetic performances of Ringo Starr and Mickey Dolenz.
Driven by determination, he worked tirelessly delivering papers in snow-covered streets to fund his drum lessons, immersing himself in the world of jazz. A journey through high school led him to discover another passion: science and the desire to create a safer world.
Music and science competed for his heart, but Steven's talent was undeniable. His musical ventures took him from the Southside's vibrant clubs to forming a band in Los Angeles and establishing a successful recording studio. Along the way, he mastered multiple instruments, production, and songwriting.
Now, Steven Barry has embraced his true self, stepping into the spotlight as the lead singer and front person. With three inspiring albums in 2023, he invites you to join his community, as he shares heartfelt songs that resonate with the human experience.
