Hailing from Ladbroke Grove in West London, Redskin has been on the UK music scene since 2003. He draws on a wide range of musical influences from Bob Dylan to Talib Kweli, and continues to listen to artists from across the globe embracing different sounds and incorporating them into his own brand of music. Redskin's debut mix tape The Remedy was released in 2005 and sold over 2000 units in 6 months.
