Jah Wobble is an English bass guitarist, singer, poet and composer. He was born on August 11, 1958 in Stepney, London. Wobble started his recording career as the bassist and founding member of the influential post punk group Public Image Limited (PiL). After leaving PiL in 1980, he embarked on a successful solo career and collaborated with various musicians over the years.
Wobble's best known work is published with Virgin Records. He has explored different genres including ambient music, dance music, and traditional English folk songs. From the mid-1990s to the present, he has been quite prolific in releasing recordings. Wobble runs his own label called 30 Hertz Records and regularly tours throughout England and Europe.
Jah Wobble is married to renowned harpist Zi Lan Liao and they have a daughter named Hayley Angel Wardle who is an actress. Some similar artists to Jah Wobble include Bill Laswell, Adrian Sherwood, African Head Charge, Mark Stewart, Material, Dub Syndicate, Jon Hassell among others.

Acclaimed bassist-composer, Jah Wobble, widely known for many varied musical projects under his own name and originally in Public Image Limited, joins forces with keyboardist-composer, Bill Sharpe, a founding member of Shakatak, who has also worked with a diverse spectrum of artists from Don Grusin to Gary Numan - on this new recording which combines their shared love of Jazz and Funk - encompassing the influence of artists like Herbie Hancock and Headhunters, Miles Davis, The Crusaders, Art Blakey, Weather Report et al. Much of the material on the album (all written by Wobble &amp; Sharpe) was composed during the recording sessions, which surely helped to create the fluid, organic feel of the album - basically a quartet, with an open, uncluttered sound. Jah Wobble proves, once again, what a fine bass player he is, and Bill Sharpe creates an array of inventive, soulful keyboard work.
