Steevi has travelled extensively throughout the world wide industry as a busy session drummer and drum tutor.

One of Steevi's most enjoyable musical opportunities was to record an album at the infamous 'Mountain Studios' in Montreux, Switzerland-where such acts as Queen, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Iggy Pop and Deep Purple
have all  recorded and then adorned the walls with their platinum albums... the trophies of Dave Richards, world class producer, with whom Steevi worked personally with for some time and remained friends with ever since.

During Steevi's  stay in Switzerland he was asked to record a couple of tracks for Brian May's new album -Into the Light, (Brian asked Mr Richards  via 'phone whilst Steevi was sitting with him!) Steevi just said "sure Brian!"
