Founding Toto member Steve Porcaro has opened about the details of his debut solo album.

The release, titled Someway/Somehow, is a collection of tunes that Porcaro wrote over the years while composing music for others.


"When you're writing and you're doing it for a living, you're always shooting to try to write something that other artists will want to record, something that's not so personal," the veteran keyboardist and songwriter tells Ultimate Classic Rock.


"But it's usually the case for me that I'll start something and maybe it will start that way as a good general song for anybody, but then it kind of often takes on a life of its own.

And then I just feel like I'm kind of filling in the spaces.

Sometimes it comes out and it's not a standard pop song that any artist would want to record, it's something kind of unique and I think, 'Well, if no one else wants to do this, I'll record it someday.'"
