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 in 1982, Jansen recorded with bandmate Richard Barbieri under the name The Dolphin Brothers, with Jansen handling lead vocals as well as drums and percussion. In 1991, Jansen, Barbieri, and Karn formed Medium Productions as a venue for releasing their own music, as well as 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. His most recent project is Nine Horses with David Sylvian and Burnt Friedmann, which has given birth to a couple of albums on Sylvian's record label Samadhisound.
