About this episode

David J - Vocal Pugilist - David's career in the field of rap and poetry stretches back to 1992 when he won the Choice FM Battle Rap Competition - back then Eminem was still learning nursery rhymes. Over the years he has developed a unique style of delivery that is heavily influenced by his hip-hop origins. Sometimes his voice seems to go forwards then flip backwards like some tricky verbal gymnast, at other times he's scratching words instead of vinyl. Often it seems there is more than one person speaking on stage. He has performed widely and has taught in vocal workshops at schools and community centres around London. David is an elusive character and it wasn't easy to track him down but we're so glad that we did and know that he'll impress you.
