Formerly of Rochford’s now disbanded Mercury Prize-nominated Polar Bear, Wareham has also played saxophone and flute with The Smile, Sons Of Kemet, Mica Levi, James Chance, Supergrass, Ben E King.

Wareham composed the soundtrack for the BBC's new prime time Saturday night sitcom King Gary.

[1] In July 2011, Wareham announced the band's final performance before disbanding Acoustic Ladyland and forming Melt Yourself Down in 2012.

Wareham prefers not to be pigeon-holed in the jazz scene, taking influences from hiphop, rock, pop and global music, especially North African and South American among many.

‘My favourite kind of jazz is when it feels dangerous’ Wareham says and he wants to put people back in touch with the time when jazz ‘was subversive, wild and dirty.’ Described by the music press as ‘a vivacious, phantasmagorical melting pot’ [2] and by The Times as ‘Melodically adept, rhythmically inspired…mind blowing magnificence’[3] Melt Yourself Down are equally well known for their blistering live sets.
