Steve Lukather Bio
At the early age of seven Steve Lukather discovered his passion for the guitar. Influenced heavily by artists like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Miles Davis, Steve eventually developed a very distinct melodic guitar style featuring wide vibratos, string bends, and lighting speed. Later in high school Steve hooked up with Jeffrey Porcaro, Steve Porcaro, David Paich, Bobby Kimball and David Hungate and eventually formed the group Toto.

Steve's reputation and unique guitar sound quickly gained him respect among the music community and was considered one of the most versatile guitarists of the 80's. His guitar skills quickly landed him session work with superstars Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Don Henley, among others. Steve's guitar licks can currently be heard on over 700 records <see discography left>. 

With the addition of drumming sensation Simon Phillips Toto is currently on their Reunion World Tour 99, which kicked off late February in Poland to support their new CD Mindfields. Check out a video sample of Toto's new release Melanie & welcome from Steve Lukather (200kbs RM) from the Toto99.com website. Steve has recently released a solo album simply entitled 'Luke' which showcases his guitar influences of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, & Cream.
