Steve Vaile Bio
Steve Vaile’s passion is music, so everything this Pacific Northwest native does pretty much connects in some way to music and the music business (whether producing his original music or other artists). Steve was born into a musical family. His mother sang opera and his dad was a lap-steel guitar player in a country band. That was an interesting combination growing up.
Steve resides in Portland, Oregon, and has lived and played music from New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oahu and Maui to Quito, Ecuador.
His venues of performance include college campuses, America’s Bicentennial Celebration rock festival at Diamond Head Crater in Hawaii, and even a cathedral in South America. He has played concerts for Whales and dolphins with underwater speakers and hydrophones using a white grand piano on the deck of the 65’ schooner, 'The Searunner', for John Perry’s ‘Save The Whales’ film off the coast of Maui. While living in Los Angeles for the film’s post-production recording, many concerts were given in Southern California, including the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium featuring Paul Horn.
Based in Portland, Steve continues to operate his project studio, developing music for film, video, CD releases and upcoming performances.

2006- 'What About You' is an instrumental EP. This soaring new "Wall of Sound" orchestration of compassion and romance is influenced by the sounds of Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, Jarre’ and Vangelis. Hurricane Katrina also had a hand in the inspiration of this music. The first song I wrote when I was living in Kula, Maui, was 'I Want To Make Music'. When the Katrina Hurricane devastated New Orleans I was moved to write a new chorus entitled 'Hurricane' and brought 'Hurricane' and 'I Want To Make Music' together into a new composition. Katrina raised our ability to know compassion and inspired ‘Hurricane I Want To Make Music.’ ‘What About You’ is dedicated to those in need and all our homeless that struggle to survive.
