Biography


He attended St Michael's School, Allerton Grange School, King's College, London, and Newcastle University.
While at Newcastle, Porter met singer Bryan Ferry, and was part of his fledgling band The Gas Board. Ferry's later band Roxy Music had achieved success in the early 1970s, but having had some troubles with bass players, Ferry invited Porter on board to record the 1973 album For Your Pleasure and its subsequent tour. Porter went on to serve as a record producer for many later albums for Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry.
He has since produced for The Smiths, Billy Bragg, The Blades, Microdisney, School of Fish, B. B. King, Los Lonely Boys, Buddy Guy, Ryan Adams, Missy Higgins and numerous other bands. Lol Tolhurst, a founding member of The Cure, stated that Porter was the producer for the second album recorded by another of his bands, Presence.
In 1983, Porter married British model Linda Keith.
