Steve Balsamo È Nato a Swansea, Da Padre Chef Veneziano E Da Madre Gallese Steve Balsamo è nato a Swansea, da padre chef veneziano e da madre gallese. A scuola, fu rimosso dal coro, perchè gli fu detto che non poteva cantare. Ha incanalato i suoi inclinamenti creativi nell'arte e frequentò la scuola d'arte per specializzarsi nella pittura. All'età di 17 anni, egli ricomiciò a cantare e a scrivere canzoni, formando diverse band che hanno girato diversi pub e club esibendosi in interpretazioni di classiche canzoni rock. Ha avuto diversi lavori tra i quali un periodo di lavoro per rimozione pianoforti e uno nelle acciaierie a Port Talbot - nei periodi in cui aveva il sussidio di disoccupazione - lavori che utilizzò per sostenersi mentre teneva concerti. Si assicurò un posto all'Università di Bristol per studiare Arti Grafiche, ma l'abbandonò per accettare un ruolo in una scuola di musica locale, nella quale ha interpretato il ruolo di Gesù nella produzione di " Superstar". Nel frattempo, ha imparato a suonare la chitarra da autodidatta e ha continuato a scrivere canzoni. In questo periodo, Balsamo ha frequentato un laboratorio per musicisti disoccupati a Cardiff gestito dalla The Prince's Trust. L'esecuzione di Balsamo ebbe così successo, che gli fu chiesto di aprire il concerto The Prince's Trust Musters of Music presso Hyde Park nel 1996. The Who, Alanis Morissette, Eric Clapton e Bob Dylan erano tra coloro che intrattennero i 150 mila fan quel giorno. Dopo che un amico disse a Steve che Andrew Lloyd Webber stava cercando un attore per recitare la parte di Gesù, Balsamo colse l'opportunità per mostrare la sua voce da 3 ottave, che fu determinante per prendere la parte. Nonostante la sua mancanza di esperienza nel West End, egli vinse il ruolo di Gesù tra le migliaia che parteciparono alle audizioni, portandolo ad una memorabile testata di giornale: "Il figlio di Dio è gallese". In una performance televisiva dello show egli non solo fece piangere Andrwe Lloyd Webber, ma riuscì anche a vendere i biglietti per lo show per un ammontare di £160,000 in mezz'ora. Vinse il premio Variety Club per questo ruolo nel 1997. Balsamo ha firmato un contratto con la Columbia Records e ha iniziato a scrivere e registrare il suo primo album, "All I Am", che uscì nel settembre del 2002. Il singolo di debutto dell'album, "Sugar for the Soul" entrò nella UK Top 40, e fu uno delle più richieste nel canale di musica The Box e lo portò a un'apparizione a TOTP2. Il secondo singolo dell'album, "All I Am is You", è stato il singolo della settimana per (scelto da) Ken Bruce su Radio 2. Balsamo ritornò sul palco nel musical francese "Notre Dame de Paris". Egli qui poi lavorò per "Poe: More Tales of Mystery and Imagination", un nuovo musical e un album dello scrittore di Alan Parsons Project, Eric Woolfson, basato sulla vita del poeta Edgar Allan Poe. Debuttò agli Abbey Road Studios nel 2003. Nel 2004, Balsamo formò The Storys, una band country rock con influenza West Coast, comprendente Andy Collins (bassista/voce/scrittore), Dai Smith (chitarrista/voce/scrittore), Brian Thomas (batterista/percussionista) e Rob Thompson (chitarrista/voce/scrittore). Dai Smith lasciò (il gruppo) nel 2008 e fu rimpiazzato da Rosalie Deighton. Balsamo, insieme all'amico della band The Storys Rob e Rob Reed della band prog(essive) rock Magenta, lavorò su un progetto progrock chiamato ChimpanA. Con Rob Thompson e Andy Collins de The Storys ha rilasciato un EP sotto il nome di Oystermouth, "Five Songs For Jen". Balsamo è uno scrittore di canzoni prolifico e ha avuto hits in Europa e Australia con artisti come Meat Loaf, Anthony Callea, Jonatan Cerrada, e Slash dei Guns N' Roses. Egli ha anche cantato sul palco con artisti del calibro di Mario Frangoulis, Justin Hayward, Lara Fabian, Madeleine Peyroux, Joe Walsh, Glenn Hughes, Steve Harley e Jon Lord. Egli ha fatto un tour con Jon Lord e ha scritto e registrato con lui. Recentemente ha scritto delle canzoni con la cantante folk Rosalie Deighton per un progetto di un duo chiamato Balsamo/Deighton, che si è esibito a Swansea, Galles nel 2013 in tributo all'amico gallese Pete Ham. Ha inoltre lavorato su un nuovo progetto con un cantante gallese classical crossover chiamato Annelies..

I know your name, I know your family, but I don’t know you. The phone call I got about you was the one I dread. “Father, so-and-so has passed away, and the family wants to know when you can serve the funeral.” What am I supposed to do? I’ve been in this parish long enough to have seen and met anyone who has even the slightest connection with our community. I’ve never seen you in Church.

  • City of Athens International Press Office Press
    Athens, September 23, 2008 CITY OF ATHENS INTERNATIONAL PRESS OFFICE PRESS RELEASE ATHENS BACKS CITY OF PEACE INITIATIVE Athens Mayor Nikitas Kaklamanis and World Centres of Compassion for Children International (WCCCI) founder and chairman Betty Williams today underlined the need to take action to raise public awareness of issues affecting children. During a press conference at City Hall, Mayor Kaklamanis and Ms Williams announced details of a benefit concert featuring Mario Frangoulis and Laria Fabian, to take place tomorrow evening at the Herod Atticus theatre. The concert is being co-organised by the City of Athens and WCCCI with the aim of supporting the latter and creating the first “City of Peace” for children who live in high-risk regions. WCCCI constitutes one of the most significant modern “relief” and protection efforts for children who live in regions considered high-risk due to war, political instability, economic and social poverty. The organisation plans to create a “City of Peace” in safe areas. Nobel Prize winners the Dalai Lama, Mikhail Gorbachev, Lech Walesa and Oscar Arias Sanchez count among WCCCI’s supporters. In welcoming Ms Williams, a Nobel Prize recipient herself, Mayor Kaklamanis stated: “The world in which we live reserves many surprises for us – both negative and positive. It is disturbing to think that our children, the future of our world, are trapped in the dead-end of a world they did not choose. A world which was built with illegal and barbaric means. A world which deprives them of happiness, optimism and innocence. The world, however, also reserves good surprises for us, as we confirm the existence of great reserves of humanity and interest.
