Scottee


Scottee is a British artist and writer from Kentish Town, North London

His work has often been controversial, throwing cake at Rihanna as part of an X Factor performance and spitting milkshake over Nick Grimshaw. On one occasion the police arrived at one performance of "Mess" to investigate a suspected breach of public indecency laws. The police found no evidence of illegal activity.

He has written on subjects including the arts, attitudes to obesity, gay marriage and debt for newspapers and websites such as The Guardian, i-D Magazine and Huffington Post. In a piece in The Guardian expressing concerns about pay and the problems of working in the arts industry he characterises it as; "The arts are essentially a namby-pamby life of stealing Wi-Fi, cheap coffee, waiting tables and overpriced weekend workshops in improvisation that leaves you, at times, financially and mentally unstable."

He is a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends after first appearing on the programme on 18 December 2012.

In 2013 he became Associate Artist at Roundhouse, London.


Scottee was born in Queens Crescent on the Kentish Town West Estate. He was expelled from school aged 14 after which he never returned to education. He has no formal training or qualifications.

Scottee made his name as part of several party organising crews including, but not exclusively, Kashpoint, Popstarz and Anti-Social
