Hire Fatboy Slim
aka: Quentin Leo Cook, Norman Cook

GRAMMY Award-winning Norman Quentin Cook (born Quentin Leo Cook, 31 July 1963), also known by his stage name Fatboy Slim (among others), is an English musician, DJ, and record producer.

Fatboy Slim is the project of Norman Cook, who used to play bass in Housemartins. Discovered by The Chemical Brothers at the end of the 1980s, Cook suddenly became a protagonist of the dance scene under the monikers Beats International (of “Dub Be Good To Me” fame), Mighty Dub Kats, Pizzaman, and Freakpower. But it was under the new moniker Fatboy Slim that Cook came to be recognized as one of the innovators of house music. He started manufacturing singles that were weird collages of noises set to dance beats and fragmented into jerky segments.

The whole Fatboy Slim alias started out as a fun side project to help launch the hip UK label, Skint, and to have a laugh making party records with which to DJ. No wonder Norman Cook has found the last few years surreal. “You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby” wasn’t just a great record—it was a pop phenomenon that made him the world’s biggest dance artist and redefined the concept of the superstar DJ.

During those rollercoaster years, everyone from Madonna to Robbie Williams was bidding for his remixing talents, his kitchen shelf groaned with trophies, and virtually every weekend found him jetting off to major DJ gigs and award ceremonies. In the midst of all this, he fell in love with and married British television and radio personality Zoë Ball. A personal high, but one that made the couple reluctant tabloid material.

“I’m not moaning about it, but I definitely had pop star fatigue,” he reflects. “The pressure of being in the limelight all the time was beginning to take its toll. For about three months, my job was to go to awards ceremonies. When that was all I did, and I wasn’t making any music, I was getting hacked off with what my life had become. I’m not very good at being a celebrity.”

In 1999, he played two defining events—the boxing-themed face-off with Armand Van Helden at London’s Brixton Academy and a legendary show with The Chemical Brothers at Red Rocks, Colorado (the first time these superstar artists performed together in America)—which effectively closed a chapter in his career. Time to move on.

As the new year dawned, Norman Cook ventured back into his home studio in Brighton, England, to make the most emotional, innovative album of his career. Norman explains the progression by pointing out that “The Rockafeller Skank” was the first track he recorded for his previous album, and “Right Here Right Now” was the last.

“Sometimes I’ve found myself doing things I don’t really enjoy and forget why I’m doing this,” he explains. “And I’m normally in a nightclub when I remember why. Every foray I’ve had into the pop world has been based on support and respect from the dance community. I didn’t want to end up just pop.”

A man of many musical faces, Norman Cook’s Fatboy Slim is arguably his most successful alter ego and one that made big beat music (a combination of rock and dance music styles) a huge crossover success.

In 2009, he toured Australia in the Good Vibrations Festival. Also in 2009, he played in Marlay Park, Dublin, alongside David Guetta, Dizzee Rascal, and Calvin Harris.
