Steve 'Miggedy' Maestro was born & raised by a family that loves music & in a city that does the same. Picking up guitar @ five, Steve's interest was piqued in every aspect of music, from records, equipment as well as singing & dancing. Fast-forward to 1992. Through a mixshow contest, Steve was hired by Elroy R.C. Smith, then PD of WGCI to do mixes alongside Mike Dunn. Tapping into the culture of Chicago old school R&B & House Music, Steve & Armando Rivera commandeered "Club 107.5" to #1 on Friday nights for 6 years until it was discontinued. Never one to rest, 'Miggedy' began doing mixes for Tom Joyner Morning Show & worked on remixes w/Steve 'Silk' Hurley as well as being syndicated through SuperRadio, which boasts +75 stations.

All the while mixing for radio, Steve made time to produce tracks for local artists. His break came through working with Michele Laws, daughter of famed saxophone artist Ronnie Laws. Their progressive work is featured on Ronnie Laws CD "Everlasting", which includes "I'll Be Leavin' ", "If You Ain't Busy" & "Keep On Movin' ". Look for more of BRIO! (Michele & Steve's) work to be featured on her brother's debut, Jaman Laws as well as Michele's solo debut.

Currently, Steve is enjoying his re-birth now as a producer. DJ Raphael & DJ Pierre (from The Lick & Club D'Elegance respectively) have both proclaimed "Step Into The A.M." (Play a Sample Below), "Brazillian Nights" & "On To Something Good" to be the hottest stepping cuts in Chicago. The CD "Classics From The Future, Vol.1" will feature "grown-up sophisticated songs that can rumble in the club and your car" and is available at his website.
