Artist Biography For Paul Weller

Paul Weller Born 25 May 1958 Is An English Singer / Songwriter And Leader Of Two Successful Bands The Jam And The Style Council. In England He Is Recognized As Something Of A National Institution Yet Because Much Of His Songwriting Is Rooted In English Culture He Has Remained Essentially A National Rather Than An International Star. Weller's Eleventh Studio Album Sonik Kicks Was Released On 19 March 2012. The Green Songfacts Reports That It Was Recorded In Weller’s Own Black Barn Studios In Ripley Surrey With Co-Producer Simon Dine And Engineer Charles Rees. Born John William Weller In Stanley Road Woking He Was Also A Central Figure In The Mod Revival. As The Leader Of The Jam Paul Weller Fronted The Most Popular British Band Of The Punk Era Influencing Legions Of English Rockers That Ranged From His Mod-Revival Contemporaries To The Smiths In The '80s And Oasis In The '90s. During The Final Days Of The Jam He Developed A Fascination With Motown And Soul Which Led Him To Form The Sophisti-Pop Group The Style Council In 1983. As The Style Council's Career Progressed Weller's Interest In Soul Developed Into An Infatuation With Jazz-Pop And House Music Which Eventually Led To Gradual Erosion Of His Audience — By 1990 He Couldn't Get A Record Contract In The UK Where He Had Previously Been Worshipped As A Demi-God. As A Solo Artist Weller Returned To Soul Music As An Inspiration Cutting It With The Progressive Hippie Tendencies Of Traffic. Weller's Solo Records Were More Organic And Rootsier Than The Style Council Which Helped Him Regain His Popularity Within Britain. By The Mid-'90s He Had Released Three Successful Albums Which Were Both Critically-Acclaimed And Massively Popular In England Where Contemporary Bands Like Ocean Colour Scene Were Citing Him As An Influence. Just As Importantly Many Observers While Occasionally Criticizing The Trad-Rock Nature Of His Music Acknowledged That Weller Was One Of The Few Rock Veterans That Had Managed To Stay Vital Within The Second Decade Of His Career.
