Acclaimed Songwriter and Former Pro Tools Music Exec Steve Borne Drops “Problem Child”
Born and raised in New York, Steve Borne is a songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist whose career spans decades of recording, touring, and composing for film and television. His music blends the storytelling of Springsteen and Jackson Browne with the emotional depth of modern Americana voices like Jason Isbell and Ray LaMontagne.
Veteran songwriter and recording artist Steve Borne unveils his latest video, “Problem Child,” a powerful and deeply personal reflection on truth, pain, and the people who shape us. The song marks a defining moment in Borne's return to music, one rooted in authenticity, emotional honesty, and the courage to tell hard stories. Drawing from a lifetime of experience, “Problem Child” blends the grit of classic rock with the intimacy of Americana storytelling. The production, recorded and produced in Boulder, Colorado, captures the warmth of live instrumentation and the emotional weight of a song that could only be written by someone who's lived it.
With decades of work across music, film, and television, including Emmy-winning sound credits and a celebrated run as half of the acclaimed children's act Princess Katie & Racer Steve, Borne's artistry has always centered on truth over perfection. Following a life-threatening heart surgery in 2023, he emerged with renewed purpose, channeling his survival and perspective into songs that cut straight to the core. “Problem Child” stands as a testament to that journey, unvarnished, soulful, and unmistakably real. Every line carries the weight of lived experience, connecting with listeners who understand that beauty often lives alongside pain:
“In times like these it's vital to tell the difficult stories, music makes hard things easier, and I want to hear everyone's music. It's a great way to understand people and where they're coming from.” - Steve
Now based in Boulder, Colorado, Borne continues to write songs that speak to resilience, vulnerability, and the power of truth.
