Steve Jansen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve Jansen (born Stephen Batt, December 1, 1959, in Beckenham, Kent, England) with his brother David Sylvian, Mick Karn, Richard Barbieri, and Rob Dean formed the band Japan.
Jansen played drums and percussion. After Japan broke up, Jansen recorded with bandmate Richard Barbieri under the name The Dolphin Brothers, with Jansen handling lead vocals as well as drums and percussion. Later, Jansen, Barbieri, and Karn formed Medium Productions as a venue for releasing their own music, as well as some releases by other artists.
Jansen has worked extensively as a session musician and in collaboration with a wide range of international artists such as Yukihiro Takahashi. He is currently recording an album with his brother David. There is also talk of Jansen recording a solo album on his brother's record label, Samadhisound.
