Space Cowboy was born in Paris but swiftly moved to the Surrey 'burbs, aged 10. In the early eighties he was known as Wizz Fresh, as he changed his graffiti tag as often as underpants. Hip hop was his first Damascine conversion. "I remember seeing Grandmaster Melle Mel's 'Step Off' on Top of the Pops and the graffiti and breakin' in Chaka Khan's 'I Feel For You' video. Next thing I had to make sure my Mum was buying me the 'right' kicks."
