Formed in high school back in late 80’s, The Urge took their eclectic mix of punk, reggae, hip hop, and ska, and sent a sonic shockwave from the Midwest that can still be felt to this day. Since The Urge, Steve has been involved in a multitude of projects including production work for artists such as Lojic, Egress, and many others. However, the passion still lies in performing and he tears it up onstage every chance he gets. You can find him performing across the country with The Urge, the Steve Ewing Band, the Steve Ewing Duo, and Master Blaster. ----------------------------- FRANKIE MURIEL WEBSITE : https://www.frankiemuriel.com/ TIKTOK : https://www.tiktok.com/@frankiedrz INSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/frankiedrz YOUTUBE : https://www.youtube.com/@frankiemurielofficial VIDEO : https://youtu.be/38gv3aTRTow?si=1pG1GF7t5FDRmbxZ FACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61571535281849 Frankie Muriel began his music career in St. Louis, initially performing with a band called Broken Toyz.
