Timeline
Steve Marker (born March 16, 1959) is an American musician, songwriter, and record producer, best known as the cofounder and guitarist of the alternative rock band Garbage.
Steven W. Marker was born on March 16, 1959, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
He lived in Highland Park, New Jersey, Iowa City, Iowa and Mamaroneck, New York, through his childhood and teenage years, except for a year in Germany as an AFS exchange student.
At the age of six his parents bought him drums, but at 12, he took up the guitar.
He graduated from Rye Neck High School in Mamaroneck.
Marker graduated from the University of Wisconsin in Madison with a degree in film.
At Wisconsin University he met Butch Vig, who played with the band Spooner which in 1979 was attempting to record a 7-inch single.
Marker became interested in music production and bought a four-track reel-to-reel deck which, with Vig's microphones, became a home studio in Marker's basement.
Marker and Vig also started a small label, Boat Records, to release records by Spooner and other bands they liked.
In 1983 Marker co-founded Smart Studios in Madison with Butch Vig and continued to engineer, produce and mix records.
Marker felt that Manson differed from the high-pitched and screechy female singers of the 1990s and "was more like the voices that we loved growing up, which were more Patti Smith and Chrissie Hynde – sort of that classic pop sound—maybe Dusty Springfield."
Marker said his musical style was not influenced by "the guys that played twenty-minute solos", and that he preferred "guitar parts that sort of work melodically more in a Beatles sense", and artists such as Tom Petty, Keith Richards, The Pretenders, and Robert Fripp.
Marker felt that his background as a producer had helped to develop a style of playing where "you're not there to show off, to show how brilliant you are, or to draw attention to yourself. You're there to make the song work in whatever way is necessary," and the guitar "is there to serve the song".
Marker married Cindy Kahn, an attorney and development professional, in 1993.
In 1994 he formed Garbage with Vig and Vig's bandmate in Spooner, Duke Erikson.
He spotted Angelfish singer Shirley Manson in a music video on MTV's 120 Minutes, which led to her joining the group.
Their daughter, Ruby (born March 2000) is an actor/comedian.
After living for 25 years in Madison, following Garbage's hiatus in 2005, the Markers relocated to Carbondale, Colorado and, in 2018, to Ranch Mirage, CA.
