[1] As of 2020, Kilbey has released 14 solo albums and has collaborated on recordings with musical artists such as Martin Kennedy, Stephen Cummings and Ricky Maymi as a vocalist, musician, writer and/or producer.

They ran the gamut of sounds and emotions from electronic and avant-garde to acoustic and symphonic, joyous and dreamy to saturnine and sardonic".

[4] Kilbey was born in Welwyn Garden City, England, UK,[5] and moved to Australia with his parents at the age of five.

He began his professional music career at the age of 17 when he joined a Canberran five piece "cabaret band" called Saga.

[6] Around 1974 he joined a rock band featuring future Church bandmate Peter Koppes on drums called Precious Little.

Baby Grande's demos surfaced on the internet after about 30 years, and despite initial protests from Kilbey, he has now made four of the five tracks available on his solo compilation album of early work Addendaone (2012).

[14] In late 2012, as an act of protest against the conduct of the Church's North American label Second Motion Records, Kilbey announced his resignation from the band.

The announcement was made on Kilbey's Facebook fan page following the receipt of an insufficient royalty cheque from the record label.

[15] However, the Church continued as an active band and, in November 2013, Kilbey published an official announcement on his Facebook fan page stating that Willson-Piper was replaced by former Powderfinger member Ian Haug.

Kilbey explained that Haug would join the band for the recording of a new album, for which he had 16 songs written, as well as subsequent touring, and also defended the decision in the statement saying, "If you can't dig it I'm sorry.

"[16] Prior to the release of the Church's 21st album, Further/Deeper, Kilbey spoke to the media about his prolific body of musical work that is continually growing saying "Just because I've written that many songs [750] doesn't mean anything.

[17] The label roster included the owners' bands, side projects and solo works as well as those by other artists: the Bhagavad Guitars (John Kilbey's group), Snog, David Lane and Halogen.

Steve had heard All India Radio, and he asked my brother John if I had any spare instrumental songs lying around that he could contribute lyrics to."

According to Kilbey's Time Being site, he explored his "back catalogue of solo releases, collaborations and Church classics" during the performance.

Jack Frost released a debut self-titled album in December 1991, preceded by the single "Every Hour God Sends".

In 2007, Kilbey formed the ambient, psychedelic crossover band, Mimesis, with Simon Polinski, Colin Berwick and David Abiuso.

The band "Speed of The Stars" is Steve Kilbey of The Church and Frank Kearns of Cactus World News.

[24] In August 2013, Uncollected, described as, "A deluxe edition of his books – Earthed, The Ephemeron, Nineveh, Fruit Machine and other selected work", was released on his own Time Being label.

"[30] Kilbey stated that he wrote most songs of his while under the influence of marijuana, as it helps him cope with his Asperger syndrome or autism.

Kilbey explained in an article that he was introduced to the drug by now-deceased Australian musician Grant McLennan, of Brisbane band The Go-Betweens, during the recording period for a new project named Jack Frost.

"[33] Kilbey states that he "loved" heroin when he first snorted it and continued to use the drug while living in a Surry Hills, Sydney home that doubled as a recording studio.

Kilbey then made the transition to injecting the drug with the assistance of a fellow heroin user who was an unregistered doctor.

"[33] Following unsuccessful interventions involving family and friends and a relocation to Sweden where he found heroin easier to obtain, Kilbey eventually used methadone in 2002 to wean himself off opiates.

"[33] The interview concludes with Kilbey expressing his belief about the problematic nature of drug prohibition, whereby the musician referred to opiate use during the 19th century.
