Over the past 40+ years, Steve Nathan has worked with some of the biggest and best in the music industry (here’s the full list). In this second of two parts (Part 1 is here) we delve into Steve’s incredible career further, get some great insights into developing as a musician and of course Steve’s desert island discs and keyboard players he admires. Please note: although Steve did work extensively with Mark Knopfler and Lionel Richie, we didn’t get time to discuss those artists – yet.
