As a youth, vocalist Steve Perry dreamed of a career in show business. The Prattville, Alabama, native started out deejaying in clubs, and he overcame stage fright by singing along with the records. In the mid-’90s, Perry and his brother Anthony wrote and released the single Share. Perry self-produced his debut album, Who’s Stealin’ My Love, in 1998; it was later issued on the Bluesland imprint in 2001. A second, She Caught Me, followed the next year.
Perry has since continued to record and release music, sometimes under the name Prince Mekel.
