TSM represents Roger Robinson licensing/sync rights for: North America
Artist Description: Roger Robinson emerged in the early nineties as one of spoken word's most inventive performers, bridging the gap between literary and popular culture scenes. A native of Trinidad and Tobago, who has taught English literature at colleges and schools across the country, he has become one of England’s most intelligent and gifted poets. Sensing the increasing economic constrictions and diminishing opportunities that would soon place a stranglehold on the more adventurous aspects of poetry and spoken word, Robinson adapted to become a musical performer. He toured Europe with the Urban Poets Society, which led to him releasing a spoken word EP called Chocolate Art and becoming an opening act for Run DMC and De La Soul.
Robinson has released an album as King Midas Sound with Kevin Martin and Hitomi, called Waiting For You, to mass critical acclaim on Hyperdub Records. Waiting for You came in at number 10 in the top 50 releases of 2009 in Wire Magazine.
