Personal life and career Maby was born and raised in the central south coast town of Gosport. Working exclusively with Joe Jackson since the late 1970s, in the mid-1980s, he began working live and in the studio with Marshall Crenshaw. In the early 1990s, he toured with Graham Parker, Garland Jeffreys, the Silos, and Darden Smith. From 1995 to 1997, Maby played bass for They Might Be Giants.
