After studying sarod with world-renowned sarod player <em>Ustad Amjad Ali Khan</em> in India for three years, Stephen embarked on concert tours throughout Europe, Asia and North America. He recorded two albums with the global music firm <em>Boosey and Hawkes</em> in London before moving to Los Angeles where he currently resides. Stephen works in multiple genres, including Western classical, Indian classical, jazz, folk, and rock music. His credits range from scoring portions of the film <em>Formula 51</em>, starring Samuel L. Jackson, to founding the non-profit organization Ombience, which supports artistic ventures that explore the creative connection between Art and Spirituality. Stephen has played in major concert venues including Town Hall and the United Nations Headquarters in N.Y., and the Kodak and Wiltern Theaters in L.A.

Stephen is currently working on a concept album of songs inspired by his travels. The album, called 'Namaste', follows the arc of transformation of a seeker from despair to elation and subsequent detachment via the path of enlightenment. The production team for the album includes 2x Gold Disc Award Winner <strong>Matt Forger</strong> (Michael Jackson, Stephen Spielberg, Paul Mccartney, George Lucas), <strong>Shenkar</strong> (Shakti, Heroes, Peter Gabriel), and <strong>Kevin Guarnieri</strong> (Randy Jackson, Timbaland, Mick Jagger).
