Steven Bernard Hill was born on April 19, 1958, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He worked a variety of jobs – from car washing to fast food – before gaining recognition for his 1987 national club smash, "Party Your Body". It was also the title track of his 1988 debut LP, which eventually went gold. In 1989, he had his first top 40 hits with "I Wanna Be the One", "In My Eyes" and "Love Me For Life". With his 1990 album, Love & Emotion, he reached the height of his success, with the accompanying single, "Because I Love You" enjoying four weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in December 1990. He had two other top 15 hits from Love and Emotion with "I'll Be by Your Side" and the title track from the album. In 1995, a quasi-greatest hits album was released by Universal Records in the Philippines, simply titled "Dream About You." It contained singles from his previous albums including "Funky Melody", "Running Back", "Waiting for Your Love", among others. It also included as bonus the live version of "Because I Love You" which was recorded in his Tokyo concert, along with a ballad version of "If You Still Love Me." Two more tracks were added as bonus: "You're the One I Think About" and "Quiereme Por Vida." This album likewise featured 2 additional versions of "Dream About You," one with only synthesizers as accompaniment with no drums and percussion, and the other called 'Drop Mix' which prominently featured heavy bass guitar and bass drums. In 1998, The Best of Stevie B was re-released, highlighting the light dance-pop sound that marked the start of his career. In August 2009, he released The Terminator which features the lead single "Running for Miles" and a remixed rendition of one of his biggest hits, "Spring Love", with a guest performance by Pitbull and the music video featuring Polish model Anita Sikorska. On April 10, 2019, Hill took to Facebook to make a critical commentary about the lack of freestyle music and the current state of the genre in general.

On September 30, 2011, after his concert at MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, police arrested Hill because he owed $420,000 in unpaid child support. Hill's niece is actress and comedian Dulcé Sloan.
