Stephen is a multi-instrumentalist who taught himself how to play the drums, guitar, bass guitar, piano, and was in his highschool band, playing alto, tenor, and baritone saxaphone. Even though he was also musically gifted with a voice to sing, he rarely sang because of his shyness.

His father helped to nurture his musical talents, spending countless hours with his son, singing and playing various instruments.
