Biography

Dr Syntax is a hip hop artist best known for comedic rap songs such as 'My House', 'Cats and Dogs' and 'Middle Class Problems', as well as for his ever-engaging live performances. He has decades of experience as a solo artist and as a collaborator with various heavyweights of the underground UK hip hop scene, including Foreign Beggars, The Mouse Outfit and Pete Cannon. In 2021 he released 'Crumbs', a collaborative album with producer Tom Caruana and the follow-up to 2011's 'A Slice Of Fried Gold'. The project, conceived and recorded during lockdown in 2020, showcases Caruana's ever-inventive production skills and Dr Syntax proving himself lyrically sharper than ever, notably with humorous social commentary on lead single 'Get Your Dad Off The Internet'. In 2022, Dr Syntax formed a new band, featuring heavyweight Bristolian musicians MC Binbags and Dur Brain (Binbag Wisdom) on guitar and drums respectively, and Harry Stoneham (Waldo's Gift) on bass. The band play live versions of songs from Dr Syntax's extensive back catalogue, and will release a new EP in Spring 2023 to coincide with the tour.
