American musician and a member of jazz band Steely Dan Donald Fagen was born on January 10, 1984 in Passiac, New Jersy. Since childhood he was attending classical piano courses. Later, during his studies at Bard College he got acquainted with Walter Becker who had similar tastes in music and played the guitar. They soon became friends and the idea of organizing their own project was born.

1971 can be considered the start of Fagens career when he organized Steely Dan with Becker in 1971. They were the core of the band and wrote most of the music and lyrics. Fagen performed lead vocals as well as playing keyboards and Backer played lead guitar.

After the appearance of their third LP in 1974 all the members except Fagen and Becker left the group and Steely Dan became a studio project of two. Since that moment they have released a couple of albums with some famous American rock and jazz musicians. The band was most successful in 1977 after they had released the album Aja which went platinum.

In 1981 the group broke up but Fagen and Becker never lost their friendship. Fagens first solo album was released in 1982 under the name The Nightfly. It received a favorable acclaim of critics. He also wrote an original soundtrack for a popular animated film Heavy Metal. His second soundtrack Centurys End appeared in 1988 in the film Bright Lights, Big city.

During 1980s wrote music for various films and other artists and made a tour with the New York Rock and Soul Revue. In 1993 he reunited with Becker who was a producer of his second solo album Kamakiriad. Some time later they created a new version of Steely Dan and Becker released his debut solo album 11 Tracks of Whack produced by Fagen.

Fagen and Becker revived Steely Dan and impressed their fans with two new albums.
