Biography:
Gary Anthony James Webb, better known as Gary Numan, the Godfather of Electronica , was born on March 8th, 1958 in Hammersmith, London, England. He first arrived in public consciousness as the frontman for the standard late-70 s punk band Tubeway Army. The band broke up due to artistic differences after Gary discovered the synthesizer one day after a band left one in the recording studio they were using. He became enthralled by the instrument whilst his band mates decided they didn t like the electronic direction he was taking them. Gary continued using the name for the first few albums he released.
