Steele has obtained representation from 35+ year Entertainment Industry veteran TinaMarie Holland. She has secured on air radio spots to promote his fishing, music and sponsors in cities or nearby markets of each fishing tournament, and several on air television spots as well. Within one month of working together, three television interviews, including Good Morning Mississippi with millions of viewers, and four radio spots, have highlighted and promoted the cross branding of Crappie fishing and Country Music as well as promoting sponsors and their products. Plus she has ignited production interest for a television show highlighting his travels, fishing and antics..
Competitive and driven as an entertainer, Garrett is also a loving family man and a savvy businessman who has learned to effectively balance all facets of his life.
While proud of his accomplishments, Garrett has little interest in looking back; he's too focused on what lies ahead in his relentless quest to find a better song, deliver a better performance, share his passion for fishing and create a more entertaining show. When asked about his re-emergence onto the music scene, “I believe that if you have treated people right and you continue to work hard at your craft, things will happen,” And was he right!
