The New York Times hailed Slow Jam King as "Do it yourself filmmaking at its purest... with spirited characters and high levels of comic energy." 

Steve has extensive directing and editing credits on commercials, music videos, and industrials, working frequently through New York-based production company, Woo Art International.

Steve has co-produced three albums with his band, P.I.C, as well as numerous compilations and soundtracks. Steve wrote and performed much of the featured pop music in Slow Jam King , a soundtrack hailed by the Village Voice as "Enthusiastically scored to the titular quiet storms, ersatz c&w, and hip-hop textures."
