Stevie was Born in Los Angeles in the 60’s while is father was working as a jazz drummer in some of L.A’s hottest nightclubs. His father moved his family back to Canada were he continued to play. There was always music being played in the house. As a teenager Stevie's father bought a set of drums for him to play, but when the guitarist kept leaving the bands that he had formed as a teenager, Stevie took up the guitar. Now playing and fronting bands for three decades he continues to perform, record, and teach music. There are two shows that you can see him perform. He does an up-tempo blues–rock show with Kingtone and also performs an acoustic show.

Kingtone got their name from a article in a guitar magazine that had shown a picture of a guitarist who had a massive set up of amps in a studio.

“The Secret Of SRV’S Kingtone”
Kingtone formed in the fall of 1996, with the core of some very hard working and very experienced musicians. The talent of these guys getting together created a mix of hard driving blues and rock. After only their second gig they were working with Canadian artist Colin James. Throughout the rest of the 90’s and into the new millennium they have worked with Canada’s best. They have recorded and released an album, called Old Guitars But Young Fashion Ways. It is all original material, and features the Prime Minster Of The Blues Dutch Mason in a guest spot on vocals. With a break from the business for a short period of time, Stevie T. and Kingtone are back. A second CD of all new material has been recorded, but not yet released.
