As the guitarist for the rock band Our Lady Peace, it's unlikely one of his Mya-Moe ukuleles will see the stage, but Steve loves them as songwriting tools. He has toured extensively with them, and appeared on American staple TV shows like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson. Our Lady Peace has won 4 Junos (Canadian equivalent of the Grammy), and holds the record for winning the most MuchMusic Video Awards (10) in the show's 19-year history. In between touring stints with OLP, Mazur works regularly as a session guitarist, playing live and/or recording with acts like Holly Conlan, Kyler England, Rob Giles, Adrianne Gonzalez, Gabriel Mann, The Rescues, Naimee Coleman, Lucy Schwartz, Billie the Kid, Madd Scientist and Dawn Thomas. Mazur has also played guitar for several movie and TV show soundtracks, including Wanted, Summer Breakdown, 9, Reaper, Worst Week, Big Day, Carpoolers, Privileged, and Modern Family. He is the co-composer and guitarist on the TV series Rules of Engagement. Read more about Steve here.
