* OneOfUs: Part of the reason why Wilson does remix work for other artists, works in a number of different musical styles, and makes sure that the most minute details in his music get heard by others is because the man just flat-out loves music. The higher the sound and packaging quality, the better. He even goes out of his way to [[http://stevenwilsonhq.com/sw/playlist-archive/ update the playlist of artists and albums he's listening to on his website]] when given the chance.

'''Steven John Wilson''' (1967-) is an English singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and audio engineer. He is the founder and leader of the band Music/PorcupineTree, is a founding member of Storm Corrosion alongside [[Music/{{Opeth}} Mikael Åkerfeldt]], a founding member of No-Man, and has an extensive solo career as well. A mostly self-taught musician and engineer, he's worked with a large number of bands and [[AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder has had a huge number of projects]] over the years. He's been nominated for four Grammys, two with Porcupine Tree and two with Storm Corrosion.
He began receiving guitar lessons for a small period as a child, but he didn't particularly enjoy it and his parents eventually stopped paying for it. At the age of 11, he began experimenting with a some equipment and a nylon string classical guitar he found in his attic, creating a rudimentary form of multi-track recording. His father (an electronic engineer), built him a multi-track tape machine and a vocoder so he could experiment with studio recording. He formed a number of bands with friends through school, but mostly enjoyed experimenting with sound in his spare time.
In 1986, Steven Wilson launched two projects: "No Man is an Island (Except the Isle of Man)" (a fusion of synth-pop and progressive rock, which would later be shortened to "No-Man") and "Music/PorcupineTree" (originally a pastiche of psychedelic rock). No Man is an Island's second single, a cover of the Donovan song "Colours" would win an award in the Melody Maker magazine and land them a record deal with the One Little Indian indie record label. Both No-Man and Porcupine Tree would both go on to release their first releases later and eventually develop a large cult following.

! Steven Wilson and his works provide examples of the following tropes:
* AlternativeRock
* {{Ambient}}: Some of his more psychedelic songs can tend towards this.
* ConceptAlbum: A lot of Music/PorcupineTree albums tend to be connected by some unifying theme. In his solo career, ''Hand. Cannot. Erase'' is a concept album based around a woman becoming increasingly isolated from society.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: He has a tendency to walk around barefoot.
* EpicRocking: All over the place.
* IAmTheBand: A few of his numerous projects, as well as some Porcupine Tree releases.
* LoudnessWar: He is strongly opposed to this and tries hard to avert this whenever he can, with only a few [=CDs=] (likely due to ExecutiveMeddling) actually playing this trope straight.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Largely depends on the project, but he's ranged anywhere from 1 to 7 over the span of his solo career and Porcupine Tree.
* NeoClassicalZydekoPunkabillyRock: He'll experiment with AlternativeRock, PsychedelicRock, ProgressiveRock, {{Jazz}}, SynthPop, {{Ambient}}, and ProgressiveMetal all in the span of a single song.
* NewTechnologyIsEvil: Steven Wilson dislikes [=MP3s=] and [=MP3=] players, for decreasing the quality of music and the significance of it, respectively. He takes a few shots at [=iPods=] and video games on ''Fear of a Blank Planet''.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He's ''47 years old''.
* ProgressiveMetal
* ProgressiveRock
* PsychedelicRock
* RecordProducer: He produces all of his own material, and has remixed quite a few older ProgressiveRock records.
* SelfBackingVocalist: Does this quite a bit.
* StoicSpectacles
* SynthPop
* UncommonTime: Naturally.
