Steppenwolf was an iconic band that was founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1967. The band was known for their hard rock and acid rock style of music and for their iconic hits like "Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride".

To learn how to sing like Steppenwolf, it's important to understand the unique vocal techniques that were used by lead singer John Kay. Kay's voice had a gritty and powerful quality, with a lot of rasp and vibrato. He was also able to showcase a lot of tonal depth throughout his range.

One of the best ways to develop this style is to work on breathing exercises and develop good breath support. Singers can use Singing Carrots' resource such as Breathing basics to learn how to breathe deeply and effectively support their singing. As Kay's voice was very raspy, singers can also use Singing Carrots' resource Vocal Distortion & Growling along with the Twang and Growl exercises to achieve a similar sound.

Additionally, singers can work on developing their chest voice and mixed voice range. Chest voice will help in achieving that hard rock grit and power, while mixed voice will give the range of tonal depth that was characteristic of Kay's singing style. Singers can use Singing Carrots resources such as Chest Voice Explained and Voice Break & Mixed Voice to help with this.

Some of Steppenwolf's songs that really showcase John Kay's unique vocal techniques are "Born to be Wild", "The Pusher" and "Jupiter's Child". Singers can use Singing Carrots' resource Search Songs by Vocal Range to find songs that match their vocal range and difficulty level.

In addition, Singing Carrots' Pitch Training would be an excellent resource for Steppenwolf fans looking to improve their pitch accuracy and vocal control. This is a great tool to hone in on the specific techniques that make John Kay's singing so powerful and distinctive.
