About the Artist
STEVE SALUTO

Residing in Treviso (Italy), Steve Saluto began playing guitar at the age of fifteen. He began taking jazz guitar lessons but, inspired by the Van Halen solo in "Beat It", Steve took up playing rock.

By the time Steve reached the age of twenty five, he had traveled back and forth across the Italy playing in excess of five hundred gigs. It was during that year that Steve released his first personal success winning the national contest "Ritmi Globali" with an instrumental trio.

An year later he released an album with the Italian pop group "The Ribrezzo" called "Primo e Ultimo" (Condulmer Rec./BMG Aspirine) with appearances on national TV and RADIO shows and playing with many Italian and international artist such as Phil Palmer.

In the 1998, after a period that saw Steve playing in a lot of guitar clinics as endorser, he released his first solo album "Under" (Event Records/99th Floor) and graced the pages of several guitar and music publications including GUITAR CLUB, METAL SHOCK, FLASH and BASIMEDIA MAGAZINE.

Steve's virtuoso playing caught the eye of "The Rebel Toys" (an hard rock band previously called DARK LORD in which Alex Masi played before flying in the USA). Steve was asked to join the band and with them he released a live album and a song included in a compilation called AREA SISMICA 3 (Defox Promotion).

Then Steve continued his solo and session man career playing various musical genres ranging from rock to pop and ultimately to jazz and soul.

He played with the Chicago jazz singer Cheryl Porter, with the Dj rapper Double D., with the Italian pop singer Federico Strag", with the Venice Gospel Ensemble and made sessions with the rock guitarist Vinnie Moore and the blues master Buddy Miles.

Even with having to perform with a lot of artists Steve has found the time to release his second solo work "A Different Fire" (Level Productions) where, aside to play guitar, he sings.

In April 2002 Steve' song "Fuzzy Boy" has been included in the top Italian guitarists compilation "Guitar Chef Vol. 1".
