Linguistics

Linguistics is a South London born and raised recording artist.

He began writing lyrics over garage/grime aged 15 after seeing ‘Lord of the Mies’. Inspired by the likes of Jehst, Taskforce and other UK Hip- Hop veterans he began writing and recording his own music.

In 2010, living in Bristol, he became heavily involved in the local D&B scene. He quickly made a name for himself performing across the UK with DJ’s including Nero, Flux Pavilion, Netsky, Kamo & Krooked, Wilkinson, TC, Sigma, Rockwell, KoanSound, Delta Heavy & many more.

In 2012 Linguistics' career as an MC took off when he was picked up by Friction, the voice of BBC Radio l’s Official D&B Show, to be his MC. Later that year he was voted ‘Best Newcomer’ at the Drum and Bass Arena Awards.

Since then he has toured extensively alongside Friction playing shows across the world including tours in Australia, Canada and Japan and Europe.
