About Steve Lesko

I'm an audiophile with a passion for everything to do with sound design, entertainment and Celtic fiddling/culture. My love for all things audio began back in 2007, when I made my first multitrack recording in Audacity with my fiddle and guitar. Since then, I've received a bachelor's degree in Sound Design for Film and Video Production, worked as a microphone boom operator in the independent film industry, rescued and repaired troublesome dialogue, recorded and produced multiple music albums and brought audio to life in numerous videos. I learned audio editing on Avid Pro Tools and have continued to use it on Mac operating systems since receiving my degree in 2015. My second love, Celtic fiddling, began in 2003 as a 5th grader in orchestra class, under the direction of Jed Fritzemeier. Playing my fiddle has taken me all across Michigan and as far as the British Isles and China. My most proud achievements on this musical journey include becoming the director of the very same high school group that got me interested in fiddling, and founding and performing in CrossBow, Michigan's premier high-energy traditional Celtic band.
