Toronto’s Mark Steele continues to heat up the musical circuit in Canada, and the world with his sweet singing voice and masterful showmanship. Since 1992, when he first embarked on the musical circuit in Toronto, Steele has made an indelible imprint on the reggae music-loving audiences through appearances at various venues in the city. It started shortly after his emergence on the music scene; people began inquiring about this powerful and dynamic young singer/musician. Before long the name Steele was something of a household word on the reggae music circuit. He has appeared locally, embarked on tours national and international, and has performed in Africa to audiences in excess of 20,000 with rave reviews, not to mention his performances in Jamaica and other Caribbean islands. Steele has come a long way since his first single, Ribbon In The Sky, released under the guidance of one of reggae’s veteran artists, Triston Palmer. Since then, Steele has recorded a number of other singles and earned the respect, and ear of national and international audiences and professionals in the world of music. Silhouette, cover of the late D. Brown, represents one of Steele’s many hits that has been enjoying regular rotation on the airwaves at home and abroad. Jah Is My Strength continues to heat up the airwaves and proves to be a source of inspiration to radio audiences around the globe. It is not surprising that Steele is a much sought-after artist for live performances. He has shared the stage with some of reggae’s most respected artists, such as Freddie McGregor, Rita Marley, Bounty Killa, The Melodians, Stranger Cole, Glenn Washington, Half Pint, and Wayne Wonder, just to name a few. Former lead singer of one of Toronto’s top award winning bands (Tatix), Steele has been described as dynamic, and sensational, with the versatility and range that defies restriction to any one genre. Steele is as captivating in his handling of R&B material as he is with soul, reggae, gospel, classical, and jazz. Born in Lucea, Hanover, Jamaica, Steele’s inspiration comes from his parents who sang on the church choir, where he too began singing at the tender age of 10 years. At age 11 he had developed an affinity for the drums, noting that he was attracted to the physical appeal of this instrument. At age 14, Steele entered the Herbert Morrison High School in Montego Bay and it became clear that a career in music was imminent. Steele joined the school’s reggae band, Mystic Force, which consisted of some of today’s well-respected musicians, Bengy Myaz, Paul Kastic, and Michael Stevens. Today, Steele has made his mark on the music industry and though most people recognize him as a singer, Steele is also an accomplished musician, songwriter, and producer who has earned a reputation as a perfectionist with his professional approach to his music. With his first solo CD/Album (Uncorrupted) just released, the world will be hearing a lot more of Steele as he dishes out his hit-bound, lyrically conscious and socially relevant material which is signature Steele.
