John William "Paul" Weller Jr is an English singer-songwriter & musician. Paul Weller achieved fame with the punk rock/new wave revival band The Jam.

Weller had further success with the blue-eyed soul music of The Style Council (1983–1989), before establishing himself as a solo artist in 1991.

The Daily Telegraph about Weller: "Apart from David Bowie, it's hard to think of any British solo artist who's had as varied, long-lasting and determinedly forward-looking a career."

The BBC described Weller in 2007 as "one of the most revered music writers and performers of the past 30 years".
