"Steven's ability to understand how sound and picture live together to create the desired response in audiences was something very special and not usually found in someone of his age. His love of music, movies and media make him a very special talent and the kind of person he is makes him someone that anyone would love to have on their team"

About Me

Steven Tobi

Composer

Born and raised in Tampa FL, now residing in Nashville TN, (Steven Tobi) is best known as founding member and lead guitarist for the Alternative Rock group “The Nearly Deads”. While the band makes up the bulk of his musical career, his passion for the medium expands far beyond the stage. At an early age, Steven's musical journey was inspired by the adventurous and emotion filled scores of John Williams and Koji Kondo.

Since moving to Nashville in 2009, Steven has been building his career as a film and game composer. He has worked with local and international directors and developers on a variety of projects, most notably (Fatherless - Short Film, Virtually in Love - Short Film, Sifting Thyme - Mobile Game). In 2022, he secured Best Original Score at the PheonixShortFestival for his work on the short film "Family Gone" and in 2023 received a nomination for Best Original Score at the 54FilmFest for his work on "Agent 54".

Always working to grow as an artist, Steven continues to improve his craft through collaboration and further educational opportunities. He has collaborated on several GameJam and FilmFest projects and is currently studying under Nashville composer Michael Whittaker (Power Rangers, TMNT).
