Born in Birmingham in the summer of 1979, Steven Camden took eight years to realize his ideal form.
Unfortunately the ‘human boy-to-polar bear’ operation had not yet been perfected and so instead he took to imaginative play and creative writing under the guise of the West Midlands first arctic carnivore.
The unfortunate reluctance of family, friends and authority figures to accept this persona led to years of suppressed creativity, culminating in a BSc in Psychology from Leeds University.
During this time Steven honed his skills with undercover poetry and short story writing and some anonymous anthology publication. However, after several years the Polar Bear could no longer be contained.
The result was a link up with The New October Poets and a whirlwind of writing and spoken word taking in Wychwood Festival, Glastonbury, Ledbury Festival, Shambala festival, poetry nights up and down the country and the Warwickshire Words Festival 2005 Slam Champion crown.
His new show If I Cover My Nose You Can’t See Me debuts July 2008 at the Southbank centre in London.
From humble beginnings as a Hip-Hop DJ, Mister Gee honed his spoken word skills as the host of the renowned performance poetry club Brix-tongue and is now one of the stars of the UK poetry scene. He has performed at the New York Nuyorican Poets Café and the Black Lily night in Philadelphia (home to Jill Scott and the Roots), as well as at the Edinburgh Festival. He runs workshops in schools and his album Poetry in the Key of Gee was released to critical acclaim.
Mister Gee is a co-winner of a Sony Gold Award for Radio as the resident poet on the Russell Brand Show on BBC Radio 2, and is the resident poet of the hit West-End musical Into The Hoods.
