Morristown, NJ singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer, Steevan Mars writes catchy-edgy-melody driven pop songs with classic rock undertones. Mars’ musical style draws from influences across the rock map from 60’s British invasion to 70’s LA rock to 80’s/90’s Alternative. Always one to write about matters of the heart – Steevan’s lyrics are deeply personal and universal – causing one to ponder – is he singing about me? His latest collection of songs such as, Long Time and Fall Away, are no different -they really have that feeling that he is in tune with the everyday emotions that go with love and loss.

His debut EP, If Not Now…When? refers to the long, arduous journey of an artist trying to find a way to fit into this world. Typically, Steevan performs solo-acoustic (ala, Neil Young) and tours locally, promoting the record and picking up fans along the way. Currently, he is recording new songs to be released in 2009. A charismatic performer, he’s a regular at the 169 Bar in NYC and NJ coffeehouses/rock venues, and has performed at the Knitting Factory, Kenny’s Castaways, CBGB’s and other notable NYC venues. He was recently a featured artist at the NY Songwriters Circle, where he showcased his original works at the legendary Bitter End in NYC. His song, Long Time was a notable mention in their 2007 songwriting contest. He is also associated with the NJ Songwiters Circle, which showcases local and national talent monthly at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ.

For the last 2 years, he was a finalist in the Morristown’s Got Talent showcase where he performed his critically acclaimed singles, “ Long Time” and “Lonely Day” to a packed house at the Community Theater in Morristown (go to myspace.com/steevanmusic for the video clip).

In the past 3 years, he’s been a runner-up in many songwriting contests including a battle of the bands song contest sponsored by 106.3 FM at the Jersey shore where 100’s of fans voted on line for his song Life’s Too Short to Feel Nothing. His songs have recently been chosen to be on Universal Republic and Noteborn Music publishing catalogs and his CD can be found on CdBaby, iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, Napster, etc.
