Jah Wobble was born John Wardle in 1958 – renamed by Sid Vicious who, under severe influence one night, struggled to pronounce his name correctly – and is an English bassist, singer and composer. He began his incredible 45+ year career in music as a founding member of Public Image Limited in 1978 with Keith Levene and former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon and quickly became known for his distinctive and trailblazing bass, combining elements of dub, funk and world music. During his time with PiL, he played on the band’s acclaimed albums First Issue and Metal Box and collaborated with Keith Levene and Martin Atkins on a variety of side projects. He left PiL in 1980 to pursue a solo career, releasing his debut album The Legend Lives On … Jah Wobble In Betrayal, followed by a succession of acclaimed solo albums and collaborations with the likes of Brian Eno, Sinead O’Connor, Bjork, Holger Czukay from Can, Chris Connelly from Ministry, The Edge from U2 and Geordie Walker from Killing Joke. His work showcased his unique style and his interest in world music, particularly that of Africa and the Middle East, and his ability to blend diverse styles into a cohesive whole continues to receive accolades.
