Hailing from Stanford-le-Hope, Essex, Scroobius Pip burst onto the spoken word scene in 2006 with his self-released album, No Commercial Breaks.
He is known to many for his collaboration with Dan Le Sac, and their cult 2007 single, Thou Shalt Always Kill.
Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip have been taking spoken word to the big time, touring the UK, the USA and Europe, playing Glastonbury and Reading festivals and headlining the Scala in London, a hectic tour schedule that continues this summer, as well as releasing a top 30 album, Angles.
Accompanying Scroobius on Bespoken Word is Ollie, his "six-foot-two-inch pianist".
