Born into a family of musicians from Michigan, Trade Stevens spent much of his time abroad while growing up. Since his father was an Army Specialist, the family extensively traveled the world and spent time in various settings. A dynamic talent, Trade Stevens’ skills were discovered during a class “sing-off” for the role of Santa Claus in the annual Christmas play.
