Biography:

Stephen Lloyd-Morgan is a widely popular and acclaimed tenor. As a professionally trained singer and actor he is now in great demand throughout Europe. Having studied opera at the Welsh College of Music and Drama and Musical Theatre at The Mountview Academy of Performing Arts in London, he subsequently performed in a number of musicals and operas including Rent, The Gondoliers, The Merry Widow, Children of Eden & Cosi Fan Tutte.

His more recent popularity and acclaim gained especially from his after-dinner entertainment evenings and concert performances, which incorporate an extensive repertoire of show-stopping hits from Musical Theatre, Opera and Crossover, sung in English, Spanish and Italian. Including numbers such as Nella Fantasia, O Sole Mio, Sunset Boulevard, Granada, Nessun Dorma, Arranjuez Con Tu Amor, Notte Di Luce, The Prayer and Con Te Partiro to name but a few! His last charity Album also included the more contemporary, with renditions of Hallelujah, Ognuno Soffre (the Italian version of REM's hit Everybody Hurts), and Dyrchefir Fi (the Welsh version of You Raise Me Up).

From large scale concerts, charity events, weddings or the more intimate after-dinner performance, Steve never fails to enthral an audience with his powerful voice and energetic performance as well as his evident joy and passion for singing! He now has a dedicated following and his performances are most often sold out. Having spent the past 6 years in Spain he is now in demand throughout Europe, and continues to split his time between Spain and the UK.

The late renowned Music Impresario Victor O´Gilvie worked in the industry for over 30 years, and organised Concerts for many top international artists along the Costa Del Sol, including BB King, Ray Charles, Gloria Gaynor, Paco de Lucía, Elton John and George Benson. Of Stephen Lloyd-Morgan, Victor wrote, "I have seen many talented singers during the years I’ve been involved in the Music Business, and surely Steve is one of the most talented performers to come through in this particular area (opera & musical theatre) in many years." - October 2008

Steve’s open and friendly face does not give away how hard he actually works, and how determined he is to succeed. A patriotic Welshman from the Rhondda Valley, South Wales, he is undeniably a born singer and entertainer. A truly dedicated professional, evidently passionate about his art.

Those who have met Steve describe him as shy, quiet and extremely unassuming. It is therefore particularly surprising that this is the same person who sings such breathtakingly powerful songs.

Performing a handful of his repertoire in an evening would be an achievement for many, but to sing such demanding songs relentlessly in English, Spanish or Italian, almost without pause, sometimes for up to two hours, is remarkable.

"I have watched Stephen Lloyd-Morgan grow and develop over an eight year period and I believe he certainly exemplifies the West End´s high standards. Not to mention being a nice guy with a wonderful voice!" - Ian Good - Director Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts & Director of the award-winning musical `Hairspray´. - October 2008

His last album To Where You Are was released in February 2009. It was re-released in March 2012 as a download available from iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/to-where-you-are/id510152127 and all leading digital stores, raising funds for The Cudeca Cancer Care Hospice www.cudeca.org. His next album In My Father's Footsteps will be released in the Summer of 2012, raising funds for both The Cudeca Hospice & the Welsh cancer charity Tenovus www.tenovus.org.uk.

In February 2010 Steve sang and co-produced with his Manager Nick Holland the charity single "The Prayer for Haiti" . As part of the Costa del Sol "Help Haiti Campaign", Her Majesty The Queen sent best wishes for the continued success of the Costa del Sol´s fundraising efforts for Haiti. A letter received from Buckingham Palace reads `Her Majesty was interested to learn that the British expatriate community in the Costa del Sol have raised over €20,000 for the Haiti Earthquake Fund...Her Majesty conveys warm good wishes to you and all concerned´.

Best wishes were also sent from HRH The Prince of Wales and HM Ambassador to Spain, Giles Paxman. www.slmlive.com/2012/theprayerforhaiti

In September 2010, Steve was delighted to accept an invitation to be a part of the Golden Book of the 100 of Marbella, which celebrates Marbella and its entrepreneurs, professionals, businessmen and women who have been contributing to the growth and development of Marbella in the past and particularly in 2010. Steve has been recognised for `his great voice and talent which have made him a true ambassador for Marbella and also for his numerous charity performances´. Although Steve never takes part in charity events to seek any kind of recognition, he nevertheless greatly appreciates this acknowledgement. Steve sang at the Gala to launch the book in October 2010. www.slmlive.com/2012/marbella100

He has also been the guest soloist with several touring choirs, including The Pontarddulais and London Welsh Male Voice Choirs, and The Llynfi Valley Ladies Choir.

Steve is a great supporter of various charities, and regularly dedicates his time and performances to the Cudeca Cancer Hospice, The Rhys Daniels Trust and to Diabetes Research amongst many others.

In 2012 Steve will release his new album In My Father's Footsteps, as well as continuing his many performances throughout the UK, Spain and the rest of Europe.
