Trevor Rabin
Born into a musical family and raised in Johannesburg, Rabin took up the piano and guitar at an early age and became a session musician, playing and producing with a variety of artists. In 1972, he formed and fronted Rabbitt, which became one of the most popular and influential bands in South Africa. In 1978, Rabin left Rabbitt and moved to London to further his career, working both as a solo artist and as a producer for various other artists including Manfred Mann's Earth Band. From 1977 to 1981, he released the solo albums Beginnings (1977), Face to Face (1979) and Wolf (1981).
After moving to Los Angeles in 1981, Rabin gained prominence in the reformed Yes with the album 90125 (1983). Developed mostly from his own demos, it remains their best-selling album, helped by the US number one single "Owner of a Lonely Heart"; it was followed by 1987's Big Generator. In 1989, during a lull in Yes activity, Rabin released his fourth solo album Can't Look Away. He was part of the expanded Yes band for its multi-line-up Union album of 1991 and played on the accompanying eight-man tour, until the band reverted to the 90125 line-up for 1994's Talk, which Rabin produced and predominantly wrote and performed.
Rabin left Yes in 1995 after the Talk tour and changed career to become a prolific film composer. He has since scored over forty feature films, most notably his frequent collaborations with producer Jerry Bruckheimer. He has won numerous awards, including eleven BMI Awards. Rabin is also behind the theme song for the NBA on TNT and MLB on TBS. He released another solo album, the almost all-instrumental Jacaranda, in 2012, and reunited with a version of Yes to tour as Yes Featuring Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, Rick Wakeman during 2016. In 2017, Rabin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Yes. His sixth and latest solo album Rio was released in 2023.
