About
Why this artist matters now
Roger Waters is a British musician and composer born in 1943, best known as the bassist and primary lyricist of Pink Floyd, the band he co-founded in the mid-1960s. His compositions and conceptual approach shaped progressive rock's most ambitious albums, including The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, works that merged complex studio production with thematic cohesion around isolation, mental distress, and societal critique. Since leaving Pink Floyd in 1985, Waters has pursued a solo career in music and multimedia performance, often addressing political themes through large-scale installations and theatrical presentations.
