Biography

Musician and producer Quentin Leo Kook, also known as Norman Kook or Fatboy Slim, was born in Bromley, Kent, in 1963. He grew up in Reigate, Surrey, England. In Reigate he formed his first band - punk trio Peroxide, but soon became the bassist (and later lead vocalist) in the rock band Disque Attack. During his college study, Kook began to train his DJ skills. At the age of eighteen, he moved to Brighton and soon made a name in local clubs. In 1985, Kook became the bassist for the indie-rock band The Housemartins. The musicians made two hits - Happy Hour and cover for Caravan Of Love, originally by The Isley Brothers. However, in 1988, the group disbanded. Kook came back to Brighton in order to pursue his interest in dance music - around that time he met the studio engineer Simon Thornton, who has been collaborating with him until now.
