Introduction
Steve Harris (Stephen Percy Harris, born 12 March 1956 in Leytonstone, London, England) is the bassist and founder of the legendary Heavy Metal band Iron Maiden since 1975. He is also the main song writer of the formation, and plays keyboard too.
Career
Steve Harris got his first bass when he was seventeen. He started playing a Fender Precision copy and of course ended up playing the real thing soon after that. In these early years he played in different bands such as Influence, Gypsy's Kiss and Smiler.
After leaving Smiler with tons of ideas to write his own songs, he decided to create his own band, Iron Maiden, named after the unpopular torture instrument which he saw in the movie "The Man in the Iron Mask".
Steve Harris became the leader, founder and main songwriter of one of the most important, epic, heavy metal bands in history, which is still active over 35 years later.
His trademark sound consistes of elaborate riffs and Maiden's "galloping" playing style, in conjunction with guitarists Dave Murray, Adrian Smith & Janick Gers.
