Few musicians have had as wide-ranging an impact on popular music as Steve Porcaro. As a founding member of Toto, his synthesizer work helped define an era—on hits like “Africa,” “Rosanna,” and “Hold the Line.” But his influence doesn’t stop there. Steve co-wrote “Human Nature,” one of the most enduring tracks on Michael Jackson’s Thriller, still the best-selling album of all time, and he became a go-to sound architect for legends from Quincy Jones to Don Henley. His textured, atmospheric programming on songs like “Boys of Summer” and “Dirty Laundry” set the sonic standard for a generation. Beyond the pop charts, Steve has left his mark on film and television, scoring projects from Justified to Dune.
Today, Steve continues to push forward. After releasing his first solo album, Someday, Somehow, in 2016, he’s preparing the release of his follow-up, The Very Day, coming in 2025 on a Sun Records imprint. In this conversation, we trace his remarkable journey—from high school dropout on tour with Gary Wright to hit-maker, pioneer, and storyteller—and dig into the creative process behind his new work.
