Fatboy Slim
Early Years
Although born in Bromley, Norman grew up in Redhill and later studied at Brighton Poly, where he graduated with a BA in English, Politics and Sociology. It was in Brighton, where Norman started his music career as a DJ. Fatboy Slim is the project of Quentin “Norman” Cook.
Rise to Fame
While he was a DJ in Brighton, Norman got a phone call from an old school mate, inviting him to play in a band called the Housemartins. The Housemartins biggest hit was “Caravan of Love” which reached the British number one slot in 1986. The band split the following year.
Different Projects
After the split, Norman formed Beats International and had a British number one hit with “Dub Be Good to Me” in 1989. Soon afterwards Norman was forced to take a break after getting divorced and falling victim of a nervous breakdown. Two years later, Beats International was disbanded in favour of a new group called Freakpower.
After touring with Freakpower for a year, Norman became a partner in Skint Records and adopted the pseudonym Fatboy Slim. According to Norman, the name originates from a Louisiana blues singer in the 1940s.
Continuing Success
Fatboy Slim soon attracted much attention in Europe and the US with his blend of house, acid, hiphop, electro and techno music. Hits included remixes of “Brimful of Asha”, “Renegade Master”, and his own tunes such as “The Rockafellar Skank” and “Right Here, Right Now”.
During two rollercoaster years, Norman found himself jetting off to DJ gigs and award ceremonies and in the midst of all of this he fell in love and married Zoe Ball. Today, the couple has a young son called Woody Fred and Fatboy Slim continues to take the world by storm!
