Steven Sharp Nelson (born July 5, 1977) is an American cellist and songwriter. He is best known as "The Cello Guy" of the classical new-age musical group The Piano Guys, with whom he has released eight number-one albums and dozens of music videos. He also has three solo albums to his credit.

Nelson performs a variety of musical styles, including classical, folk, new age, and inspirational. He is considered a pioneer in "cello-percussion", which enhances traditional cello playing with pizzicato and percussive techniques. He owns 29 cellos, which he says produce different sounds and have different "personalities". He also plays kick drum. He credits his influences as Yo-Yo Ma, Bobby McFerrin, and Victor Borge.

Nelson is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As part of his faith, Nelson served a mission to South Korea. He considers his art and his touring as a means to spread the gospel; he says that he also gives away a copy of the Book of Mormon to someone on nearly every tour. He and the other members of The Piano Guys, all members of the Church of Jesus Christ, pray together before each concert, recording session, and video shoot.

Nelson and his wife, Julie, have four children and reside in Salt Lake City. (Wikipedia)
