Steven Sharp Nelson is an award-winning, Billboard chart-topping, YouTube total ROCK STAR, but in a cellist sort of way. His creative content is watched and streamed over 3 MILLION TIMES EVERY DAY. Steven’s unique and innovative musical style has earned him platinum records in multiple countries and sold out iconic concert halls on every continent, but his compositional prowess is only the beginning. Steven graduated in music and then pursued a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Utah. His voracious appetite for learning and his ADHD, which he titles his “superpower,” propelled him through careers in venture capital, nonprofit management, creative writing, and in a meteorically successful group called “The Piano Guys.” His knack for powerful storytelling, comical vulnerability, musical analogies, and love for social psychology has made him a keynote favorite around the world. He’s a TEDx speaker and has been a guest on the Today Show, the Tonight Show, Good Morning America, and has performed for the President of the United States. His professional passion is rooted in being a spokesman for creativity, the worth of a soul, and pronoia. More than anything, Steve loves being a dad. He and his musical soulmate, Julie, have four children that all play instruments – and on some days they even enjoy it! He is a vehement advocate for music education, a connoisseur of Thai food, and a moderately professional pickleball player, depending on how good his doubles partner is.
