About Me
I'm Steven Hicken Jr and I'm a 27 year old pedal steel guitarist from Leeds, United Kingdom.
A lot of people ask me how I got into such a niche instrument at a young age. Well, it's safe to say that pedal steel is in my blood.
My dad has played steel guitar for his family country band since the 1970s. Having grown up watching him, I finally got my chance to play in my early teens. My older brother also plays steel as a multi instrumentalist, another big influence to me musically.
After starting playing at age 14 and cutting my teeth in the family band a couple of years later, I have since gone on to perform with artists on the British Country and Americana scene. I have played at festivals such as C2C @ The 02 Arena and have also been involved with session work for artists across the globe.
I'm currently a permanent member of "The Burner Band" and my family project "Hicken Legacy". Other notable artists I have played live for include Cody Pennington and Holly Rose Webber.
