Nirosta Steel

Steven Hall (born June 28, 1957), known professionally as Nirosta Steel, is a Scottish musician. A key member of the 1980s downtown arts scene in New York City, Hall garnered broader recognition with the release of the 2026 compilation album My Skyscraper.

Early life Hall was born in the Milngavie suburb of Glasgow. When his father died, Hall's mother placed a personal ad in the International Herald Tribune to find a second husband and relocated the family to Wilmington, Delaware to marry Hall's new stepfather.

Education Hall was admitted to Columbia University with a recommendation letter written by Ginsberg. Shane Lavers of Chanel Beads discovered Cool Fire and shared it with the co-founders of the record label ULYSSA, who asked Hall for any additional unreleased work. This material, recorded over four decades, was compiled into the album My Skyscraper, released in 2026 to critical acclaim. He resides in Champaign, Illinois with his husband.
