BIO

Born in the hill country of south Texas, Steven P. Richards began writing songs when he was 15 years old. It wasn't until he was 38, however, that he put his legal career on hold and began converting his work tapes into professional demos. Steven’s songwriting spans many genres, from rock to country to pop and everywhere in between. As a non-performing songwriter, Steven’s songwriting has received awards in various national and international songwriting competitions, as well as winning a semi-finalist position in the Dallas Songwriters Association annual song contest. This is War, his pro-soldier/anti-war anthem, has been played on Sirius Radio, in addition to being listed on Neil Young’s website, Living With War Today. As an army veteran (of the Panamanian Invasion and Desert Storm), Steven understands the tremendous hardships our soldiers, and their families, face on a daily basis, both in Iraq and at home. “Ultimately,” Steven explains, “I would love it if this song could, if even slightly, help speed the process of getting them safely home for good.” .
