Paul Weller Wiki Biography

Born as John William Weller Jr. on the 25th May 1958 in Woking, Surrey, England, Paul is a Brit Award-winning singer, songwriter, and musician, best known as a member of such bands as The Jam and The Style Council. Weller’s career started in 1972.

Have you ever wondered how rich Paul Weller is, as of mid- 2017? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Weller’s net worth is as high as $10 million, an amount earned through his successful career as a musician. In addition to being a member of the popular bands, Weller is also a solo artist with 13 studio albums, which have improved his wealth too.

Paul Weller is the son of Ann, a part-time cleaner, and John Weller, a taxi driver and a builder. He went to Maybury County First School, and was introduced to The Beatles, Small Faces, and The Who before moving to the Sheerwater County Secondary school. In the meantime, Paul started playing guitar, and after seeing a Status Quo concert in 1972, he formed a band called The Jam with Steve Brookes and Dave Waller.

Weller played bass, Brookes was lead guitar, while Waller played rhythm guitar, and Paul’s father acted as their manager. He actually helped them to book gigs at the local working men’s clubs, but soon after, Dave Waller left, while Rick Buckler and Bruce Foxton joined on drums and rhythm guitar respectively. The Jam became well known as a cover band; primarily they played Beatles songs, and Weller’s and Brookes’ compositions too. Brookes left in 1976 and Paul became the lead guitar after switching with Foxton, and in 1977, The Jam released their debut studio album entitled “In the City”. The album consisted of 12 songs, ten of which were written by Weller, and reached No. 20 on the UK Albums chart. After only seven months, the band made their second album, “This Is the Modern World”, which peaked at the No. 22 on UK Albums Chart and achieved silver status in the UK.

The Jam stayed busy, and the following year released their third album entitled “All Mod Cons” that reached No. 6 on the UK Albums chart, and achieved the gold status. By 1982, the band had recorded three more albums: “Setting Sons” (1979), “Sound Affects” (1980), and “The Gift” (1982), all of which reached the top five on the UK Albums chart. That success helped Weller to increase his net worth significantly, but he decided to leave and experience a different kind of music.

In 1983, Weller and keyboardist Mick Talbot formed the new band called The Style Council, and they brought in Dee C. Lee and Steve White to help them out with the project. Their debut album “Introducing The Style Council” (1983) went rather unnoticed, but the next one, “Café Bleu” (1984), was way more successful as it peaked at No. 2 on the UK Albums and No. 56 on Billboard 200 charts. In 1985, they released “Our Favourite Shop”, which topped the UK Albums chart and had over 100,000 sales in the UK alone, achieving gold status. The Style Council made two more albums “The Cost of Loving” (1987) and “Confessions of a Pop Group”, and then Weller started his solo career.

Paul recorded four albums in the ‘90s, and they surely improved his wealth, while he was even busier in the 2000s as he released five more albums – “Wake Up the Nation” in 2010, “Saturns Pattern” in 2015, and most recently, “A Kind Revolution” in 2017.

Regarding his personal life, Paul Weller was married to a former band colleague Dee C. Lee from 1987 to 1998 and has two children with her. Paul has another daughter from a brief relationship with a make-up artist Lucy, and then he was involved with Samantha Stock, with whom has two children. After they broke up in 2008, Weller married Hannah Andrews in 2010 and has two sons with her.

Paul Weller Quotes

• I’m a born-again Bowie (David Bowie) freak. The next time he sees me I’ll have a fucking great Aladdin Sane flash on me boat race. Every night we’d drive home to London after recording and have Ziggy Stardust on five or six times. Low’s one of my favourite records anyway. Whatever gripes I’ve had about Bowie in the past, Low’s been a constant since I bought it in 1977.
• [on being told that David Cameron had named Eton Rifles as one of his favorite songs] Which part of it didn’t he get?
• I’m not scared of the new. For all of my love of the ’60s, be it clothes or music, I still wouldn’t want to be living in any other time but now. If I had a time machine, maybe I might go back to 1964 to the Flamingo and see Stevie Wonder, but I wouldn’t want to stay there. I like the modern.
• Wilko [Wilko Johnson] may not be as famous as some other guitarists, but he’s right up there. And there are a lot of people who’ll say the same. I can hear Wilko in lots of places. It’s some legacy.
• For me, Wilko [Wilko Johnson] was the first guitar hero of the Seventies. Post-Bolan [Marc Bolan] and Bowie [David Bowie], Britain was a real wasteland, musically. There were all those faded-denim, post-prog stadium bands, and the US rock thing. The Feelgoods cut right through all that. Hearing Down By The Jetty for the first time, at the age of 17, was just what I wanted. I borrowed the LP off a mate and kept hold of it as long as I could. Then I went and bought my own.
• [on “Wake Up The Nation”] I think the record is great and it deserves a lot more recognition than it’s got.
• It wasn’t a time to be non partisan. It was too serious a time, too extreme. I wasn’t waving the Labour party flag but the socialist red flag that’s for sure. In The Jam I didn’t want to be a part of any movement. But this was different. Thatcher (Margaret Thatcher) got into power in 1979, and from the Falklands war onwards, that was her wielding her power, the trade unions were being worn down, we had the miners strike, there was mass unemployment, there were all these issues, you had to care and if you didn’t you had your head in the sand or didn’t give a fuck about anyone but yourself. You couldn’t sit on the fence. It was very black and white then. Thatcher was a tyrant, a dictator.
• If I’d lost my hair, it would’ve been awful. Nobody could take a bald mod seriously. I was talking to Robert Plant about this and he said the secret to his success was keeping his hair. Led Zeppelin would never have reformed if he or Jimmy Page were bald.
• Coming from such an uneducated background, I suppose I’d had quite a blinkered working-class upbringing, and reading books like George Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia and Robert Tressell’s The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropist had opened up my mind – seeing how the system works and how people are kept down. They gave me a broadly socialist viewpoint and made me reappraise everything.
• The line “Compose a revolutionary symphony/Then went to bed with a charming young thing” is about The Clash. I was a fan, but I just thought it was really odd how quickly they’d become a standard rock’n’roll band with the leather jackets and the photo opportunities. One minute they were singing ‘I’m so bored with the USA’ and the next they seemed to be spending most of their fucking time over there. I felt a bit cheated.
• I had a total belief in The Style Council. I meant every word and felt every action.
• [on turning down the CBE] It would have been a bit hypocritical for me to accept that, I don’t really agree with it. I don’t like the royal family, I don’t like the establishment, I don’t like the civil service. So, it would be utterly pointless me accepting it.
• The Jam were a good band, however I feel that the Style Council were better. A lot of people I know will disagree with me. Some things we did with The Style Council were misinterpreted or over their heads.
• In all honesty, I don’t know what one song can change.
• [on involvement with Red Wedge] It was the biggest mistake ever for me because once you get involved with those people you see how it’s all run. It’s more about their egos and it’s not about really making a difference.
• We can’t stop a baby in Africa from starving to death… but we can afford enough technology and weaponry to blow the world up a million times over.
• [on David Bowie] I like about three records of his. The rest of it’s pish.
• [on Sting] Horrible man. Not my cup of tea at all. Rubbish. No edge, no attitude, no nothing.
• [speaking in 2006] There are more important things in my life now to write about than politics.
• Unfortunately these days, if you don’t get a hit single and your first album doesn’t sell one point whatever million you don’t get a chance to make your second one. Pop Idol (2001), Popstars (2001), Fame Academy (2002), the rest of them – I don’t think they are causing any problems whatsoever – they are coming up with acts that people do like and they are going out and buying a lot of their product.
