Steve Nieve studied composition and piano at The Royal College of Music in London. In the summer of 1977, he joined Elvis Costello & The Attractions and after debuting with Elvis Costello on the hit single "Watching the Detectives", his keyboard playing became a crucial component of The Attractions sound on the albums This Year's Model, Armed Forces, Get Happy, Trust, Almost Blue, Imperial Bedroom, Punch the Clock, Goodbye Cruel World, King of America, and Blood and Chocolate.

Nieve was acclaimed as one of the most accomplished musicians to emerge from the Punk/New Wave scene of the late 70's.

Nieve's several solo albums include Keyboard Jungle, It's Raining Somewhere (under the name Steve Naive), Mumu, a collection of songs and now Windows, an ambient mixture of urban soundbites and music.

Windows represents many scenes Nieve encountered on his travels around the world. While on his journeys Nieve would often record sound out of a window with his portable DAT machine. He would then take a snap-shot of each window from which he recorded so he could capture the scene visually as well as aurally. Two musical themes, one representing a man, the other a woman, interact with these ambiances, so that the music and the couple the music seeks to represent, embark on a voyage, as if searching for each other, across all the planet, and beyond. Windows was recorded in many countries around the world including Holland, Thailand, Hungary, Ireland, Morocco, Italy, Germany, Turkey, Japan, USA, Portugal, Scotland, Egypt, France, Australia, Mexico, Sicily, Czech Republic, China, Russia, Canada and Spain.
