While attending the Westminster School for Boys, he first met fellow student Peter Asher, and together they began playing together as a duo — Peter & Gordon.

Asher is the older brother of actress and businesswoman Jane Asher, who in the mid-1960s was girlfriend of The Beatles' Paul McCartney. Through this connection he and Waller were often given unrecorded Lennon-McCartney songs to perform, most notably their first and biggest hit, 1964's decidedly Beatlesque "World Without Love."

Peter & Gordon disbanded in 1968. Afterwards, Waller attempted a solo career with little success, releasing one record, Gordon, and appearing in a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
