In 1990 at the age of seven Steve Genua first heard and fell in love with the band Bon Jovi. From that moment on he aspired and dreamed of being able to wail on the guitar as well as Richie Sambora and one day play in a rock band of his own. In the spring of 1995, he finally got his first guitar. Steve was privately taught by jazz great George Grosman. In his early teens he formed his first band with school friends, a side project that only Steve took seriously. When they ceased to exist as a band Steve kept practicing. During late 1998, he began jamming with a friend and together they would ultimately form the group 22 Ounce Kilo. The band finally came together when front man Brandon Ross joined. 22 Ounce Kilo performed as a band for numerous years, ending abruptly with the departure of Brandon. With the loss of a band member 22 Ounce Kilo lost its momentum. He continued to compose on his own while searching for musicians who shared his musical passion, vision and values.
During late summer of 2006, Steve received an unexpected call from former front man Brandon Ross. Ross proposed a creative coalition. Agreeing, Steve and Brandon went headlong into forming and finding the rest of the puzzle pieces. For Steve this venture was unknowingly to become one of the most serious and solid bands that he had ever been a part of. At their one month mark a name for their new project was concocted. "A Match for the Curious." At eight months old the band, "A Match for the Curious," (AMFTC) began playing gigs with a bang, kicking off their performance career with a show at the renowned Vans Warped Tour.
A year into performing AMFTC had gained staggering momentum. AMFTC performed and won the Canadian leg of the Emergenza Music Festival leading to the Taubertal Open Air Festival in Germany. At the Taubertal Festival, AMFTC was up to compete with bands from around the world. Still new to the music world, AMFTC rose up to the daunting task and performed in front of 20,000 people with competence and confidence well beyond their years. AMFTC came back home owning the international honour of third place for 2008.
