Steve Balsamo
United Kingdom
Приєднався 9 бер 2007
Born and raised in Swansea, I started out singing in rock bands as a teenager before I came to the public's attention in the mid '90s in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar.
Signing to Columbia Records soon after, I was molded into a poppy/rocky/folky/country-ish artist - nothing like covering all the bases - and made an album, 'All I Am'. Despite the musical schizophrenia, I had a ton of fun travelling the world and writing lots of songs, and I even got to play live on Top Of The Pops.
Along with 3 mates I formed a country rock band, The Storys, made 3 albums and toured the globe with the great and the good. I then recorded an Americana/Country album with Rosalie Deighton called 'Unfolding'.
I am part of an ongoing prog/electronica project with Rob Reed of Magenta called ChimpanA - we've just completed our second album.
I've written songs for Meatloaf, Slash, Cliff and worked with heroes Jon Lord of Deep Purple and Eric Woolfson of The Alan Parsons Project.

Steve Balsamo - Never Alone (A Song For Joseph)
Joseph's Smile was created in memory of Joseph Yeandle who sadly lost his fight to cancer in December 2021.
Never Alone (A Song For Joseph)
(Balsamo, Hamill)
Come to me darling
Lay your burden down on the ground
Last night I heard you calling
Right here you are safe and sound
Let the firefly escape from the jar
A little light through the desert
Oh you’ve come so far
Chorus
Tonight you’ve come back home
(But it’s alright) if you’re a million miles away
Know you’re never alone
Come sit by the fire
Or take a seat on the porch in the rain
You can rest now it’s over
Find your way back to these arms of mine
Know that we are all dust from the stars
and to dust we’ll return
When we take the final dance
Chorus
And now your heart is open
Stitched and bound but no more broken
Chorus
There is always hope
Always there
There is always hope
This I swear
There is always hope
This is my prayer

Kills me every time I watch this.
Oh, my, Steve...you're a balsamo to my ears and my soul😢😢😢😢
Absolutely heartbreaking has me in tears everytime and im not christian steves performance was superb that pain and anger and that vunerability
This is the one. This performance takes my breath away, brakes me every single time. Steve Balsamo is amazing, his tears, his voice, his pain, the way he looks when he realised that he "didn't started"....om my, I can't stop watching or listening ❤❤❤
Best casting of JCS of all time..
Beautiful. Such an amazing Songwriter, Musician and Actor. Proud to know Steve lives in Wales. Such a talent, with a beautiful kind heart. ❤️
❤
Steve's rendition of 'Gethsemane' is simply unparalleled. It's not just about his incredible voice, but the raw emotion he pours into every note. I cannot explain why he hasn't received the recognition he deserves in the international music industry. His performances are a genuine and powerful experience, his voice is pure emotion. I love him so much!!!
Obsessed with Steve and this performance. What a performance! What a beautiful voice! Simply amazing!
Che dire...lo guardo e lo ascolto....❤❤❤
Просто фантастика. Лучший исполнитель арии!
Seguo dall'Italia Steve Balsamo da alcuni anni e lo trovo sempre "sul pezzo", voce, passaggi di tono unici. Quello che ha fatto da cornice a questo splendido pezzo è molto emozionante e mi tocca in modo particolare in quanto...vissuto personalmente ..tempo fa ma che vivrà sempre in me. Grazie Steve.

Amazing❤
Wow.. I am so addicted to your voice. ☺️☺️
Beautiful 😍
Nice one Steve, enjoyed that. 😎❤
Wonderful song ...... and performance. Congratulations Steve!
