Steve Hillage is a UK-based guitarist born on August 2, 1951, in London, England. He first gained recognition as a member of the prog-rock act Gong and later became half of the ambient/techno duo System 7. Throughout his career, Hillage has collaborated with various artists including The Orb.

Hillage's musical journey began with the band Uriel before he left for college. The remaining members continued as Egg while Hillage reunited with them under the pseudonym Arzachel. He then joined forces with Kevin Ayers before finding his place in Gong, where he honed his skills in glissando guitar techniques inspired by Daevid Allen's innovative style.
