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.
