About Steve Porcaro
Steven Maxwell Porcaro (born September 2, 1957) is an American keyboardist, synth programmer, songwriter, film & television composer, and founding member of the rock band Toto, which he founded with his brother, drummer Jeff Porcaro, and later included their brother Mike Porcaro on bass. He has won three Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year for "Rosanna" and Album of the Year for Toto IV, and three nominations. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the Porcaro brothers were in constant demand as session musicians, appearing on records for artists including Steely Dan, Don Henley, Chicago, Earth, Wind & Fire, Boz Scaggs, Seals and Croft, Warren Zevon, Paul Simon, Yes, and Pink Floyd. He was also a member of Chris Squire's short-lived band, The Chris Squire Experiment, in 1992. Later his father took him to the Guitar Center to trade in the keyboard for a Farfisa with a Leslie 147 and preamp, which Porcaro called his "first real rig". Porcaro wrote, or co-wrote, on each of Toto's first six albums, except for Isolation. Steve released his first ever solo album on June 10, 2016.
