Aaron Steele is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, writer and producer, having collaborated/worked with artists like Harry Styles, Leon Bridges, Hayley Williams, Gabriel Black, Becca Mancari and many others. Born to Panamanian immigrant parents in the Bronx and raised on African American gospel and latinx songs, his exposure to genre-spanning, culturally diverse records shaped his love of music. Aaron first cut his teeth in the industry as a touring drummer for numerous bands (including LP, Teddy Geiger, St. Lucia, Fences)  but it wasn’t until his brief stint in Portugal The Man, where he contributed to their breakthrough album “Woodstock” (1.6B Spotify streams TD), did he realize his passion truly lied in writing and production. Soon after, Aaron began working with famed producer Tyler Johnson, where he learned to perfect the craft of his trade. Since then, Aaron frequently collaborates with Nick Murphey (Chet Faker), Tyler Johnson and Nate Mercereau among other heavy-hitting songwriters. 

Currently, Aaron resides in Nashville and is writing/producing/credits for Joy Oladokun’s LP for Republic Records, as well as writing and touring Lidia Leuce, recent writing sessions include Childish Gambino, Kid Harpoon, Leon Bridges, Madi Diaz, Yelawulf, Malay, and Portugal The Man.
