Steve Sensenig began playing the piano at the age of 3, with the encouragement and help of his mother and older sisters. Through his early years, Steve learned quite a bit from the music books that were available to him, and he quickly began to excel in classical music.

By the time Steve reached high school, he was setting his sights on a career as a classical concert pianist. At the age of 13, he began playing regularly for the school choirs, church services, etc. Throughout high school, Steve gathered numerous awards and recognitions for his playing, and immediately after graduating from high school, Steve released a recording of his own arrangements of hymns. That initial recording (released only on cassette) quickly sold over 1,000 copies in local churches and bookstores.

Steve attended Philadelphia Biblical University, where he graduated with a B.Mus in classical piano performance as well as a B.S. in Bible. It was during his college years, however, that the dream of being a concert pianist began to wane, and a desire for ministry set in. Steve recorded another collection of hymn arrangements, and often ministered in concert in different churches with his instrumental worship.

Steve has served on the staff of several churches, both in music and pastoral roles, and in recent years, has begun to expand once again on his musical abilities. His keyboard talents have also been featured regularly on the Awakening, a live praise and worship tv program broadcast all around the world. As part of the Awakening Band, Steve has appeared on TBN's "Praise the Lord" program and Daystar Network's "Celebration" program. In addition, Steve often is requested to add his keyboard style to recording projects in a wide variety of genres including Christian Contemporary, praise and worship, country, jazz, and southern gospel.

With the release of his first solo CD in October, 2003, "To Worship You" (now re-released as "Ivory Worship", Steve accomplished a long-awaited dream of recording worshipful and intimate arrangements of contemporary praise and worship songs. In August, 2004, this CD was followed by the release of "'Tis So Sweet", on which Steve applied the same intimate style of playing to many classic hymns.

In 2005, "Christmas Solitude" was released. This CD featured Steve's intimate styling of well-known Christmas hymns and carols, focusing intentionally on the deep spiritual meaning behind Christmas. In addition to Steve's piano and keyboard arrangements, his wife Christy wrote and sang a lullaby entitled "Mary's Song (I'll Never Be the Same)".

During his varied career, Steve has had the opportunity to play with many well-known Christian music groups and artists, including:

• Tammy Trent
• Phillips, Craig, and Dean
• Bryan Duncan
• Nicole C. Mullen
• CeCe Winans
• David and Nicole Binion
