While attending the Interlochen Summer Arts Camp on a scholarship, Stee had the honor of having the orchestral work Pride and Dignity read by the World Youth Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Jung-Ho Pak, for which Stee was honored with an Interlochen Fine Arts Award.

Later that year, Stee had the piece Winter in Ohio read by the renowned ETHEL quartet.

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Stee began creating virtual performances of new works with the help of musicians from the MBEIQ Collective (Music, but Everybody Is Quarantined), a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering performer and composer output when musicians cannot meet in person. In September 2020, Stee became the collective’s artistic director.

From Fall 2021 to Spring 2023, Stee attended graduate school at the Eastman School of Music, studying film music and contemporary media under the tutelage of Jeff Beal, Mark Watters, Dave Rivello, and Rob LaVaque. While there, Stee scored several award-winning shorts and had several pieces performed live.

After graduating, Stee was one of three students in the program selected to take up a one-year residence in the Beal House in Agoura Hills, California. Stee is currently living and working in Los Angeles, California, gaining professional credits for composing and orchestrating film scores, and as a copyist for multiple famous film scores produced by Omni Music Publishing under the supervision of Timothy Rodier, including The Magnificent Seven (1960) and Peter Pan (2003).
