As a teenager, Jones worked at the centre of the early dubstep scene - the (now) legendary 'Big Apple Records' in Croydon.
Jones began producing music at the age of 15 and claims to now have roughly 8000 songs in varying stages of development. The 2005 Skream track "Midnight Request Line" has been described as "dubstep's most recognizable crossover hit," bringing the genre to the attention of the mainstream via producers such as Wiley and Ricardo Villalobos.
2010 as been Skream's busiest year to date - releasing his second full-length album 'Outside the Box', and also the Magnetic Man LP (alongside producers Benga & Artwork).
Skream is also a very generous man, reguarly offering out his tunes for free !!! In case you missed them here are links to Freeism Vol 1, Freeizm Vol 2 & Freeizm Vol 3.
