The Story Behind the Songs.
Michael Steven is an independent singer-songwriter blending catchy hooks with heartfelt storytelling. His debut EP Chemical Imbalances (2005) gained traction in Europe, landing radio play overseas. Now based in Idaho’s Treasure Valley after years in San Francisco’s indie scene, Michael continues to deliver soulful, radio-ready songs — most recently from his record Don’t Be Late and its standout single and official video, Do Your Thing.
New single.
“Don’t Be Late” is a punchy, guitar-driven track from Michael Steven that channels the timeless spirit and a modern indie edge. Built on chiming guitars, a steady backbeat, and soaring vocal lines, the song carries a sense of urgency and optimism — a reminder to seize the moment before it slips away. Its mix of rock grit, Americana warmth, and sing-along melodies makes it equally at home on a road trip playlist, a Friday night pre-game, or a Sunday afternoon drive.
