Jon Carin (born October 21, 1964) is a musician and producer who has been a longtime collaborator with the progressive rock band Pink Floyd and the solo careers of David Gilmour and Roger Waters.
As a teenager, Jon Carin started his professional musical career with the band Industry as their lead singer, keyboardist and songwriter, quitting his studies for a medical degree to do so. During his time with the band, they had a hit single with "State of the Nation" in 1983, being followed by the album Stranger to Stranger.
In 1983, he was asked by Industry's producer, Rhett Davies, to work with Bryan Ferry for his Boys and Girls album. Later in 1985, he joined Bryan Ferry at Live Aid, where he first played with Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour.
That year, Jon Carin would collaborate as a musician and writer for Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason album, as a keyboardist and programmer. He is a writer for the hit song "Learning to Fly" from that album, their first hit song since the departure of Roger Waters. He then participated in the support tour for the album and appeared on the 1988 Pink Floyd double live album, Delicate Sound of Thunder. In 1992, Carin participated for the recording of the soundtrack for La Carrera Panamericana. Two years later, in 1994, Carin played keyboards, synthesizers, arranged and programmed for Pink Floyd's The Division Bell album. He also participated on The Division Bell support tour and was featured on the Pulse CD and DVD.
