One of the UK’s most cherished names in Hip Hop, Ty has made critically acclaimed albums, shared mics on stage with Hip Hop luminaries such as Talib Kweli and De La Soul, been name-checked by Lily Allen and performed with Damon Albarn. A Mercury Music Prize nominee, Ty has won numerous awards, taking his vision of hip hop into prisons and schools acting as spokesman for his musical culture on Newsnight. Ty has a history of involvement in the spoken word/poetry scene, as well as running workshops in schools and beyond. At this An Audience With double bill, Ty demonstrates skills involved in creating verse, exploring how words and music relate to performance.
