Jeff Scott Soto (born November 4, 1965, in Brooklyn, New York) is an American rock singer of Puerto Rican[1] descent. He is best known for being the vocalist on Yngwie Malmsteen's first two albums, and for stepping up to the job of lead vocalist for Journey on their 2006-2007 tours after Steve Augeri had to leave the band for surgery. His style is typical of heavy metal vocalists of the 1980s, but he is also influenced by classic soul music singers such as Sam Cooke as well as Journey's previous vocalist (prior to Augeri) Steve Perry, and Freddie Mercury from Queen.Contents[hide] * 1 Career * 2 Discography o 2.1 Solo albums o 2.2 Panther o 2.3 Talisman o 2.4 CD Singles edited with Talisman o 2.5 Takara o 2.6 Human Clay o 2.7 Axel Rudi Pell o 2.8 CD Singles edited with Axel Rudi Pell o 2.9 Humanimal o 2.10 Yngwie Malmsteen o 2.11 CD Singles edited with Yngwie Malmsteen o 2.12 Eyes o 2.13 CD Singles edited with Eyes o 2.14 Others Lead Vocals o 2.15 Others Background Vocals o 2.16 Various Artist / Tributes Album * 3 Notes * 4 External links[edit] CareerThe bands Soto has been involved in included Panther, Axel Rudi Pell, Eyes, Talisman, Takara, Humanimal, Human Clay, Kryst The Conqueror, Redlist, The Boogie Knights and Soul Sirkus.Soto has sung background vocals on several albums by artists such as Lita Ford, Steelheart, Fergie Frederiksen, Glass Tiger, House Of Lords, Stryper, Saigon Kick, and many others.He has released several solo albums as well.

On June 12, 2007 it was announced on the same website that Journey had dismissed Soto as their lead singer. Soto addressed the issue by saying "I was looking forward to a long, prosperous future with these guys but it seems they wanted something different than I brought to the table. No love lost though, they know what's best for the preservation of their legacy. I wish them all the best but now it's time to continue working on my own path again".
