Steven Ridley

Steven Ridley touches his first guitar at the age of 4. British-French self-educated guitar player, he discovers his instrument with the sound of blues and rock music. He’ll perform for the first time with his musician family for private events, before joining emerging local rock bands and artists. In 2010, at 18, he becomes a student at the Music Academy International of Nancy (FR), where he meets Antoine Valvin, also a student in the drumming department. Quickly, Steven will be asked to play with many students and teachers in the Jazz section of the school. He’ll then compose and collaborate with the young singer-harpist Pia Salvia. The second chapter comes with the creation of « StevN », a one-man band, performing his own songs, with a guitar, his voice, and a loop pedal. More than a hundred gigs will follow during the next 2 years across Europe, mostly in Belgium, which turns to be his new homeland. As a result, Steven Ridley will finally creates his own band, gathering Antoine Valvin (drums), Anthony Beth (Bass) and Bruno Baudewyns (2nd Guitars). A powerful Alternative Rock with melody, soul, and deeply personal lyrics. On January 2020, his first EP « Between The Lines » comes to fruition, taking roots in the Indie/Rock musical landscape. One sentence represents the band: « No Stress, Only Groove » Stay closely tuned!
