With Saga, Negus earned many gold and platinum selling CDs in Europe, Canada, and the U.S. In 1981, the band went to England to work with Rupert Hine as producer, and Worlds Apart was recorded at Farmyard Studios. Producer Hine also had Steve play drums on Chris de Burgh’s album, The Getaway. “Don’t Pay the Ferryman” was the single from that album, which went to #34 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. The Getaway went to number one on the German charts, followed by Saga’s own Worlds Apart at number two.

In the late 80’s, Negus and keyboardist Jim Gilmour left Saga and formed GNP (Gilmour Negus Project) with singer Robert Bevan for Virgin Records. The CD Safety Zone which was produced by Negus came out in 1989. Before a follow-up CD could be written and recorded, Negus and Gilmour reunited with Saga which ended GNP. In 2003, Negus left Saga once again.

In 2007, Negus released his first true solo project “Dare to Dream” through Cyclone Records. Steve Negus also co-produced and engineered songs for Jaclyn Kenyon on her original songs “Whatcha Gonna Do” and “See it Through me” in 2009.
