Paul Turner (born 11 March 1968 in Sunderland, England) is a bassist. He is currently the bassist for the British group Jamiroquai. He was present for the promotional work and tour for the Dynamite album, recording of new tracks for High Times and on their two latest album,s Rock Dust Light Star and Automaton.
Although known primarily as a member of Jamiroquai since 2005, and for his association with Annie Lennox since 2002, Paul has also recorded and/or performed live with more than 70 "named artistes", including icons like Tina Turner, Bryan Ferry, Tom Jones and George Michael, and boybands including Take That, Gary Barlow and 911.
Paul cut his teeth at a young age with respected soul singers like Ruby Turner and Edwin Starr, before going onto tour the world with many of the UK’s most successful pop bands, generally during their heyday. He juggled those arenas with club dates, theatre tours and recording sessions for numerous R&B singers such as Omar, Lamont Dozier and Mica Paris, and jazz-funk names like Down To The Bone and Jeff Lorber.
Between Jamiroquai commitments, Paul is active in many genres of music and in a variety of surroundings. He has his own funk/soul band called Shuffler, and he is also involved in the eclectic progressive rock trio The Dark Sinatras [1], who released their first album in May 2012. He was also in the house band for the live performances of the 2013 season of the UK TV show The Voice, and he has since continued to record for various artistes.
