Steve Zaat Bio
With years in the music business as a performer, educator and music retailer Steve Zaat is well established as a singer, songwriter and sideman.
Growing up in a musical household Steve’s songs draw from his life experiences and the insights he’s gained from his many mentors. Not afraid to “go there” Steve songs can be intensely personal but with his quirky sense of humour always lurking on the background. From his song “That’s Me” that explores the mysteries of life after death to his children’s song “Raised by Ducks” the breadth of his material can always surprise.
Highlights include
2007 release of his CD Jumpstart To Eternity. This project is an eclectic collection of songs written up to that point.
2008 self publication of book “That’s Me” a collaboration with visual artist Sue Rose. This project was developed as a bereavement resource and used by the IWK children’s hospital in Halifax in the palliative care department.
