He is one of the original members of Dirty Laboratory Productions.

Aside from music, Steele is also an investigative journalist.

Time released his first album, Litterture, in 2004.

He then went on to release the album, Anti-Smiles, in 2006 under the moniker Calm with producer Awareness.

Denver Westword gave the album a favorable review, commenting that "[although] Anti-Smiles reflects the dark side of our collective psyche, it's also a statement of hope in the face of fear and self-doubt."

In 2007, he released his solo album, The Fantastic Reality.

Benzine Magazine gave the album 3 out of 5.

Time currently serves as an associate professor of History at Regis University in Denver, Colorado.

Time teaches courses on History and Social Change.

Time released his solo album, Naked Dinner, in 2009.

It featured guest appearances from Damon Jevon, Sole, C-Rayz Walz and Extra Kool.

The album was described by Denver Westword as "a dark affair tonally reminiscent of There's a Riot Goin' On, with a similar socially critical agenda."

In 2010, Time released 12 EPs in 12 months called the 12 Headed Hydra series for free download.

In 2011, he has received attention for writing in favor of the Occupy Wall Street movement and was interviewed on Mike Feder's XM radio show Occupied Territory.
