Eddie Jobson

Birthday: 1955-04-28 | Place of Birth: Billingham, County Durham, England, UK

Best known as Frank Zappa's right-hand man and as one of the first electric-violinists in rock, Eddie Jobson first came to prominence as the 17-year-old keyboardist/violinist for Curved Air. He studied piano, violin and music theory from the age of 7, and had the premiere of his first string quartet at the age of 13. An early pioneering synthesist and rock prodigy, he garnered his first number-one gold album as a member of the art-rock band Roxy Music at the age of 18. He was a founding member of `supergroup' UK; a special guest with Jethro Tull, King Crimson, and Yes; and contributed to several solo albums by members of Deep Purple and The Who. He has been featured on more than 50 albums and performed in more than 20 countries.
