Steve Marker (born March 16, 1959) is an American musician, singer, and record producer best known as a cofounder and guitarist in the alternative rock band Garbage.
Early life
Steven W. Marker was born in Mamaroneck, New York, on March 16, 1959. In Mamaroneck, New York, he spent the bulk of his childhood and teenage years. He began playing drums at the age of six, but at 12, he changed instruments and picked up the guitar. He graduated from Rye Neck High School in Mamaroneck.
Marker obtained a degree in film from the University of Wisconsin in Madison. There, he met Butch Vig, who performed with the band Spooner. Marker's interest in musical production had grown, and Marker's microphones were added to the deck, which was supplemented by Vig's recording of Marker's basement. Marker and Vig also founded Boat Records, a small company that would release records of both Spooner and other bands they liked.
Personal life
Marker is married and has a daughter named Ruby (born March 2000). Marker and his family moved to Carbondale, Colorado, after living in Madison for 25 years following Garbage's hiatus in 2005.
Career
Marker co-founded Madison's Smart Studio with Butch Vig in 1983 and went back to work in electronics and mixing until joining Garbage with Vig and Vig's bandmate in Spooner, Duke Erikson in 1994. Shirley Manson, a MTV's 120 Minutes teen singer, was featured in a documentary that led to her joining the band as Marker felt that Manson differed from the high-pitched and screechy female singers of the 1990s and "was more like the voices we loved growing up," she said. Dusty Springfield was more like Patti Smith and Chrissie Hynde.
Marker said that his musical style is not influenced by "the guys that played twenty minutes solos," adding that he always preferred "guitar parts that play melodically more in a Beatles sense." Marker's experience as a producer inspired a style of playing where "you're not here to show off, to show how brilliant you are or draw attention to yourself." You're here to make the song work in whatever way is appropriate," she says, adding that the guitar "is there to play the song."
