Long Island Music Hall of Fame inducteeThe story
Always looking for the next big sound.
Steve Thompson is a contemporary writer, producer, arranger, mixer, remixer, and brand creator whose instincts were forged behind the decks of New York City’s legendary clubs.
That DJ mentality—reading the room, feeling the pulse, knowing exactly when a record connects—became the foundation of his production career. It caught the ear of Clive Davis, who mentored Thompson in the art of making timeless pop music.
From Guns N’ Roses and Metallica to Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Public Enemy, Korn, and Ziggy Marley, his work moves fluidly through genre without losing its emotional center.
“My greatest mark on music and global brand has not yet taken place.”— Steve Thompson
