Steven Wilson is an English musician born on November 3, 1967. You probably know him as the man behind Porcupine Tree, a progressive rock band that saw its greatest success in the 1990s. Not only was he the founder of the band but Steven was also the lead guitarist, songwriter, and singer. He basically did it all and through the years he’s been involved in a number of other musical projects along with maintaining his own solo career.
What’s brilliant and interesting about Steven Wilson is that everything he knows is self taught. He didn’t get guitar lessons or learn how to produce as a apprentice to some musical genius. Instead he learned on his own and has created an incredible legacy that he continues to add to. Even if you don’t know Steven Wilson chances are good you’ve heard a song or two of his.
