Steven GB

Steven has played in numerous bands with genres ranging from 80’s to cumbia’s, classic rock to rock en espanol. Steven Bejarano has a passionate love for music that cannot be described through words, and thus, his music is born.

After juggling a full-time job, playing in various cover bands, booking and writing original music for SiSTiNE, the weight of such responsibilities became overwhelming for the twenty-seven year old. Making a decision to better himself, Steven dropped his day job and enrolled in the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California. Being able to read, write and play music on a daily basis, along with tests and quizzes, began to show as his musicianship took a turn for the better. As is the way, with time, practice, and live performances, the music quickly evolved into a wondrous experience.

“When a group of boys come together on one tiny stage, there is often potential for a messy, ear-rupturing set. This was not the case for Sistine. Somehow, each member was able to find his place in between the chaos. They created a musical energy that was impossible for the crowd not to feel.” Allegra Azzopardi, of Music Connection Magazine.

Steven first felt the power of music at the age of eleven, when his elementary school introduced him in a music program. Due to financial issues, he was forced to make sacrifices, but ultimately ended up playing the tuba in the marching band. The course of his life was changed when he was told to listen to music containing the tuba and the upright bass. An amazing world of colors, feelings and nuances that far exceeded simple chords and melodies was now open to him.

Another life changing event occurred when Steven received an electric Bass for his fifteenth birthday, as a combined present from family members. After becoming really comfortable with his new instrument, Steven realized he could make money to help his single mother out with bills and living expenses. At the young age of seventeen, he was waiting in the parking lots of bars and clubs until performance time came with local top forty bands.

“Most people obsess on having loud speakers in their homes. Spending ridiculous amounts of money on Dre Beats headphones and automobiles equipped with amps so powerful you can hear the car coming a mile away, but do they ever really listen?”

is a question that Steven Bejarano has asked himself. Steven began reading books on how music can affect the brain. With a new spark of interest in musical therapy, this rising musician became aware of the emotional as well as physical remedies that lie in the power of music.
