Skip Stevens, The Reporter

My name is Skip Stevens. I am not just the person Skip Stevens, but the presence of Skip Stevens. I enjoy the awe-inspiring wonder of musical vibrations paired with the beauty of spoken language. I’ve been given much, through which, I intend to give much back. My favorite color is blue.
