I was mesmerised with Toto from the very first song I heard in the 70s. I have been a fan since. Every one of the members in the band are a genius in their niche! The session work is phenomenal also! They were involved in so many of the songs I loved through the years! It is mind blowing! ❤

    Fantastic interview Warren!
    Thank you for your preparation and ability to canvass such a wide array of topics with Steve. The conversation was genuinely engaging and Steve’s recollections were candid and insightful.
    Steve has always been my keyboard hero. His career as a member of Toto, pioneering synthesist, composer, studio wiz, and touring keyboardist is legendary.
    My favourite part of the interview was Steve reflecting on his career. He had the ability to recognise his niche and pursue it and always welcomed collaboration. Further, his modesty and generosity of spirit, evident in the way he cites others in all his answers, is humbling to see. It’s an inspirational approach to life. 🙏
    I had the good fortune to meet Steve (ever so briefly) when Toto toured Australia in 2019. I hope to able to do it again one day.
    Thanks again for this interview - it was excellent!

    Seems those ATCs are kinda my big real Phase Linear speakers, paired with a Class D amp, and you can't get them flatter than that. People saying to me, they sound awful, but they do their job real well. And my reference speakers are Adam Audio with both a sub, also from Adam Audio. They are more colored. But that way you have the best of two worlds. I'm a synth player myself, but I'm not even close to what Steve is doing. Immense respect for what he is doing and done in the past. I'm always excited when you provide multitracks with synths involved. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    I`ve never seen this kind of in depth interview with Steve. He seems to be really humble and honest guy. I love this guy. The thing ”planets align”, you can`t predict those things. You just do it with passion and the rest will follow. Toto guys had their own slots, I think Steve is crucial part of Toto with synth arrangements (for ex Rosanna,Africa) Steve, Luke, Jeff and David are the core for me. Also love the singers Joseph and Bobby and the all the bassists. Also love Simon Phillips input. The dearest albums for me are Tambu and Falling In Between (no Jeff in there, I know!). I`ve seen Toto live with the new guys in 2022 and loved it!

    Also I remember a couple of years ago at a Toto concert in Budapest, they played short snippets of various songs and if I recall correctly one of them was Human Nature. Of course Steve was introduced by Luke and Steve went in the most theatrical way: "Hiiii, I'm Steeeeve!" :D we all thought it was hilarious.
