A pioneer of Canadian golden era hip-hop, Spek started swapping rhymes at the impressionable age of 14 in his hometown of Montreal and never looked back. Tutored through his tenure with world-recognized boombasters Dream Warriors, he joined the band hot on the heels of their worldwide smashes My definition of a boobastic jazz style and Wash Your Face In My Sink. At the age of 17, he signed a worldwide deal with EMI and toured the globe before eventually continuing his quest for knowledge settling in London. An incubator of sorts for his ideas, Spek soon found himself touring again. Only this time with multi-million selling British Jazz-Rap crew Us3 across Europe at the height of their popularity. Through this period Spek made his mark through various collaborations with members of Jamiroquai and Nitin Sawhney; whose seminal album Beyond Skin featuring Spek was highly touted by Sting and Madonna, won the South Bank Album Award and was nominated for the coveted Mercury Music Prize. GQ India recently called Beyond Skin, "Among the greatest records of the 20th century" Described by The (London) Times as, "a gentle and genial collection of dreamy love songs and street smart hip hop grooves", LOADED Magazine went a step further calling Spek's solo debut Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, “Like Prince and De La Soul in a mucky mudwrestle. Exceptional" with a 10 out of 10 review. Spek continues to release new music and remains a regular collaborator of Nitin Sawhney on new music.
