For those of you not familiar with Steven Paul McCollum, he was born and raised in Kansas City. As a young boy he was drawn in by country music. He remembers many road trips, listening and singing along with his Dad to old tapes of Marty Robbins and Roger Miller. He began playing guitar as a teenager, and at the young age of 17 he began a career as a solo act entertaining in restaurants and clubs. H e went on to become a First Place Winner in the "Marlboro Country Music Contest". He also coordinated and become the lead singer in the country band called "The Timberland Band". The band became a winner of the"61 Country-WDAF Radio Country Music Contest". From there h is career took him to Nashville, Tennessee where he performed both in the band and as a solo act at many venues around town, including the "Opryland Hotel". In the past year he has been on tour, performing in the fair circuit throughout Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas.
His songwriting has become more and more accomplished after being taken under the wings of his dad's cousin, "John E. (Pap) McCollum" (writer of songs cut by John Michael Montgomery, Toby Keith, etc.), and he has finally honed in on his own unique style. Over the last year with the help of John he finished writing all the songs for his new CD. The project was recently produced by Kent Wells and recorded at "2 Monkeys Productions". It was then mixed by "Kevin Beamish" and mastered by Benny Quinn at "Masterfonics".
