Music began as a family affair for Steve Hennings. His dad got the family playing at young age, and eventually Steve and brother Dave began playing shows together. When Steve first met his future wife Jessie both of them were playing music, but never played together, “it was kind of an afterthought, but on our honeymoon we brought guitars to the Canary Islands and got a gig playing together at a restaurant there.”

While music was always a part of Steve’s life, at a young age it was skating that was his biggest drive. From an early age Steve’s ability on a skateboard was far beyond others, and eventually caught the eye of brands like Hurley and Birdhouse. “It was a good experience to tour the country with Tony Hawk and see the climax of what it could be.” Steve got to learn from some of the all time bests, and although his professional career didn’t carry on much past high school, competing at such a high level gave Steve experiences and tools that he draws on in all parts of life now: whether that’s playing music, working at his office, or raising his own family.
