Steve Ludwin
Connecticut Yankee Steve Ludwin defected to London in 1987 after failing to fit in with the red neck Reagan Rambo brigade. Playing the live circuit supporting such acts as Hole, Pearl Jam and Nirvana, Steve soon found himself signing to Island Records. Many horrendous Spinal Tap moments later he left the life of a band member behind to concentrate on songwriting for Warner Chappell, penning songs with artists including Slash, Placebo and Ash.
Steve accidentally fell into the world of television after his homemade pilot Annoying American was picked up by MTV. Bwark Productions are developing Steve’s comedy series “Unhappy Day” documenting daily life in a pathetic emo band. He also played a part in the VH1 special on Velvet Revolver when he was asked to audition for the band.
Not content confining himself to just music and comedy, amateur herpetologist Steve has now been commissioned by Animal Planet (Zig Zag Productions) to present a unique new show investigating snake venom self-immunisation – something he’s been doing for almost twenty years! Steve will travel the world interviewing experts, sampling various venoms and investigating the medicinal properties; from cancer and stroke cures to anti-ageing creams.
Steve is also currently writing and developing a non-nauseating eco-friendly children’s TV series called “The Clean Ups”.
