English bass guitarist, singer, poet and composer, born August 11, 1958 in Stepney, London.
Jah Wobble originated from a drunken, slurred pronunciation of his real name, John Wardle, by his friend and fellow musician Sid Vicious.
Wobble officially began his recording career as bassist, and founding member of the hugely influential post punk group Public Image Limited (PiL). After two LP's, Wobble parted with Lydon and PiL in 1980 to pursue a successful and prolific solo career, and has since collaborated with a wide variety of musicians and recording projects over the years.
Some of his best known work is published with Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart.
His explorations into World music predated much of the genre's popularity. His music has spanned a number of genres, including ambient music and dance music, and in 2003, reworkings of traditional English folk songs. Though he has released recordings since the early 1980s, Wobble has been quite prolific from the mid-1990s to the present. He ran his own label, 30 Hertz Records, and tours regularly throughout England and Europe.
His daughter is actress Hayley Angel Wardle and he is married to the renowned harpist Zi Lan Liao.
