Steve Green is a Christian music singer/songwriter, notable for his tenor vocal range (his highest recorded note in full voice is G5) and flexible solo style. Over his 35-plus year career, Green has been honored as a 4-time Grammy Award nominee, 7-time Dove Award winner. He's had 13 No. 1 songs, and sold over 3 million albums. But, earthly credentials aren't what Steve is about. He believes that God’s grace is most clearly seen against the backdrop of his own foolishness, sin and shame. According to Steve, he labored most his life to have an impressive record, but now confesses his need for the perfect record of another. “That’s why I desperately need Jesus,” Steve says. “In the end it will be clear that He alone is the hero of not only my story, but of all our stories.”
