English bassist and founder of Iron Maiden who released the solo album British Lion in 2012; widely recognised for his role in heavy metal.

Born 12 March 1956; founder, bassist and primary songwriter of Iron Maiden; released solo album British Lion (2012); active from 1975 to present.

Two reviews of Steve Harris's 2012 solo album British Lion give a mixed verdict. Critics praise Harris's unmistakable bass and classic hard-rock influences while noting weaker vocal impact and occasional songwriting issues. The album is positioned as a heartfelt nod to seventies hard rock rather than an Iron Maiden replica.

For:Fans of Iron Maiden, hard rock and classic rock listeners

 “I’ve always been proud to be British, I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t be. It’s a massive part of being me. It’s not like I’m flag-waving or trying to preach, this is not a political statement at all. It’s like supporting your football team, where you come from. I just think it lends itself to some really strong imagery too, and to me it fits in with the sound.”
