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.

Written in his own unmistakable voice and with a new afterword by the author, this is the frank and fascinating memoir by arguably the greatest bass player of his generation. Beginning with an East End childhood in a London barely recovered from the War, he takes us on a journey through the beginnings of punk and post-punk as a founding member of Public Image Limited, an illustrious forty-year solo career which has seen collaborations musical greats such as U2, Brian Eno and CAN and a Mercury Music Prize nomination through to the present day still playing to sell out audiences. Along the way we hear how Wobble navigated chronic alcoholism and marital breakdown and has emerged as a national treasure. If you ever wondered how got his name, the answer is here: his teenage pal Sid Vicious gave it to him when he drunkenly slurred Wobble's real name, John Wardle.
