[edit] Biography

Nutty P grew up with his grandmother in West London. On Sunday afternoons after lunch, his grandmother would iron clothes and play reggae records, which later influenced him. He went to Hurlingham & Chelsea secondary school and gained an interest in music there. He then went on to further education at St. Charles Catholic Sixth Form. While studying there, he began to make music in his bedroom, working on his unique musical style and practicing writing. Soon, he gained the attention of Sony and began working with Big Brovaz on their second album.

In 2004, he took part in the Jump Off producer battle, where he was victorious and took with him £1000 and a large trophy. He put the money aside to continue building his home studio, which would later become The Bakery.

He is now one of the most dominating producers in the UK hip hop scene, due to his unique style of sampling but playing live instruments over it. His style can only be described as eclectic.
