Donald Fagen (born January 10, 1948) is an American singer‑songwriter, keyboardist and composer, best known as the co‑founder, lead vocalist and primary songwriter of the rock group Steely Dan. Formed in the early 1970s with longtime musical partner Walter Becker, the band became known for its sophisticated studio production, jazz‑inflected harmonies and sharply crafted lyrics. Alongside his work with Steely Dan, Fagen has released four solo albums, beginning with The Nightfly in 1982, a critically acclaimed record that received seven Grammy nominations. Fagen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 as a member of Steely Dan. After Becker’s death in 2017, Fagen continued touring under the Steely Dan name until 2026. Fagen was born in Passaic, New Jersey, on January 10, 1948, to Jewish parents whose families had emigrated from Russia, Latvia and Austria in the early 20th century. His father, Joseph “Jerry” Fagen, worked as an accountant, while his mother, Elinor (née Rosenberg), was a homemaker who had performed as a swing singer in the Catskill Mountains during her youth.
