Chris Steffen’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

Writer and editor specializing in artist interviews and content curation. Formerly token metal guy at various outlets, now happily ensconced with AllMusic and AllMovie. Lately I've especially enjoyed interviewing non-musicians (or otherwise-established artists who make music on the side) about music.
