Born in Krakow (Poland) 33 years ago under the surname of Robert Pieculewicz, Steve ALLEN started to learn classical guitar at 12 years old. Once listening to Van Hallen, he decided to buy his first electric guitar and soon started to play in a local band called Vandetta.
Boosted by the "guitar heroes" movement during the 90´s, with a pure composer feeling, he started to self produce his own songs, melting deep melodies, diversity and talent.
Since 1994 he has already published 5 albums as composer, arranger and interpreter. If his first two albums were decisive tries, the next ones, Fy free , Speed limit and then Electric heart, are close to V.Halen, S.Vai and J.Satriani creations and perfection.
With a tremendous technique, a magic touch and a natural feeling, he easily melts metal, classical atmospheres and percussive tempi.
« Blue Metal », produced by Crystal Planet, is his last 2006 opus in which his music is getting deeper and acute. Created during a difficult period of his life, Steve ALLEN tries to share his daily blue feelings and his pain.
Member of SACEM, he is now known in Western Europe as an all-round artist, not only in clubs or professional studios but also among metal fans clubs.
Since 2006 he has been working with the French publisher Crystal Music Recording.
A new album will be produced in 2008.
Steve Allen has won two awards: in 2000 in Lausanne (CH) for the international electric guitar competition and in 2007 in Lublin (PL) for the international competition of solo composition and interpretation.
