Musician and singer-songwriter 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 was born on September 25, 1986 in 𝑴𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒐, 𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒂. He began his musical career playing drums in bands such as 𝑯𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒖𝒌𝒆, 𝑯𝒊𝒓𝒆 and 𝑬𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆. The latter band was the opening act for 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 during the 𝑼𝑺 leg of their "𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒓" in 2007. Shortly after, 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 decided to leave 𝑬𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 and found out that 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝑯𝒆𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒕 had been fired from 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐, so he recorded a video of him playing drums and he sent it to 𝑹𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 to be considered when they start to look for a new drummer. After 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 saw this video, 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆 traveled to 𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒏 to see how they connected with each other and then he joined the band officially in 2008.

His first concert with 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 was at the historic 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒌𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒂𝒕 temple in 𝑪𝒂𝒎𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒂 on December 7, 2008. With them he recorded the albums "𝑩𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏" (2008), "𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒅 𝑳𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆" (2013), as well as the "𝑩𝟑 𝑬𝑷" (2012). After nearly eight years in the band, 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 decided to leave 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 in February 2015 to focus on his side band 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒔. 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐's official statement said that ”𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆”, and that 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐 and 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒂𝒏 𝑶𝒍𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒍 wanted to thank 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆 for all his work with the band.

In early 2016, due to difficulties related to his 𝑼𝑲 visa, 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 had to return to the 𝑼𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 and the band 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒔 was unable to continue. Nevertheless, 2020 was a special year for 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆 as in August he married 𝑻𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒂𝒏𝒚 and a few weeks later 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆 received the most beautiful birthday present as their first child, 𝑵𝒐𝒂𝒉, was born exactly that day. He also founded his record label "𝑹𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒃 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔" with which he plans to support emerging bands and artists as well as release his own solo albums. Just a couple of months ago he announced on his social networks that he will release a new album in autumn of this year.
