A singer, songwriter, and bandleader based in Toronto, Steven Taetz (he/him) has written for many internationally renowned artists published on Sony/ATV, Nettwerk, Warner, Shapiro Bernstein, and Universal.

With a voice that transcends time, Steven was turned onto singing after witnessing k.d. lang‘s iconic 1985 wedding gown appearance at the JUNO Awards. Like Lang, Steven’s style covers a wide range of genres.

For 2013’s debut solo album Steven Taetz, he created a cross-Canadian collaborative collection of songs with JUNO-award-winning singer-songwriters from each province of Canada. His 2018 Drink You In album debuted at #3 on iTunes jazz charts and received rave reviews from JazzTimes and other leading media.

His latest is the title track LATE BLOOM, which is out now on all the streamers and the full album LATE BLOOM and further singles will be out in early 2023.

Intended as a collection of queer love songs, celebrating a love found later in life, Late Bloom took on a confessional tone as Steven fully embraced his queer identity. Late Bloom grew to encompass activism for equal rights, and loss, having experienced the death of three grandparents throughout the making of the record.
