Steven Wilson (born Steven John Wilson on November 3, 1967 in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England) is a self-taught guitarist, producer, audio engineer, bass,guitar and keyboard player (among other musical instruments). He is perhaps best known as the lead guitarist/singer and songwriter for progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, but his projects are numerous, including the collaboration with Israeli superstar Aviv Geffen, Blackfield, long-running partnership with Tim Bowness, No-Man, also teaming up with Dirk Serries, Continnum, as well as his own solo projects Bass Communion and Incredible Expanding Mindfuck, and the recently released Insurgentes album under his own name. In addition to his prolific musical output, he has also undertaken production work, with such high profile artists as Opeth, Marillion, Fish, and friend Robert Fripp. Wilson is known for the high production quality of his music, employing synthesisers and programmed music along with live instruments to create a unique atmosphere for each song he works on, including otherwise-simple pop tunes.
