Born in 1945, in Bristol, England, Wyatt initially gained prominence as the drummer and occasional vocalist for the pioneering psychedelic rock band Soft Machine in the late 1960s.

His solo work often explores a blend of progressive rock, jazz, avant-garde, and experimental music.

He has also produced several other critically acclaimed albums, including "Rock Bottom" (1974) and "Shleep" (1997).
