	Despite producing six albums since 2001, he seems to be a very little-known artist. I didn't find him on RYM, and his facebook page has only 135 'likes': https://www.facebook.com/Ste-van-Holm-217893518254822/. However, he was interviewed only last week on the Progarchy website: http://progarchy.com/2015/12/28/interview-with-ste-van-holm/, so maybe this latest album will be the breakthrough one for him? He said in the interview that there’s not much of a following of progressive rock in Denmark these days. Perhaps that has something to do with his apparent lack of a fan base? Music fits the sub for the most part, so I guess he's worth an evaluation at least. There are some (pretty decent) female vocals on several tracks of the 'Tesla' album, but no credits are given for them on the bandcamp page. I think we would need to get more info from him to be able to add his discography to his eventual page on here (if successfully cleared, that is).

	Hi there! Thank you very much for your words about me! Like you, I am for most part puzzled by the lack of following myself, but I have to admit, that I am not very good at promoting my music. Anyway... The credits for the Tesla album are: Music and lyrics by Ste van Holm Produced and engineered by Ste van Holm Lyrics based on the writings 'My Inventions' by Nikola Tesla and 'Inventor of the electrical age' by W.
