**Steve Caton** is an American musician, songwriter, producer, and visual artist, perhaps best known for a lengthy association with [Tori Amos](/source/Tori_Amos).

## Career

Caton's first band experience was as a member of Pegasus in the late 1970s. He first gained widespread attention as the guitarist for [Y Kant Tori Read](/source/Y_Kant_Tori_Read), featuring the then-unknown singer [Tori Amos](/source/Tori_Amos).[1][2] That band released one self-titled album in 1988.[3] After that band split, Caton served as a session musician for artists in a variety of genres.[4][5] When Amos went solo in the early 1990s, Caton played on all of her albums and the associated tours until 1999.[6]

Caton also wrote and produced music for movies and television throughout the 1980s and 1990s.[7] He started a band called Binge with [Matt Sorum](/source/Matt_Sorum) (also a former member of Y Kant Tori Read) in 1997. That band released one album.[8] Caton then moved into a career in graphic arts and video production, particularly for the surfboard industry.
