Professor Elemental is a unique figure in the realm of music, most recognizably characterized as a pioneer of the "Chap Hop" genre — a playful fusion of hip hop with a quintessentially British twist, encompassing elements of steampunk and comedic storytelling. The man behind the persona, Paul Alborough, hails from the United Kingdom and has carved out a distinctive niche for himself with his eccentric, Victorian adventurer-themed alter ego, complete with a pith helmet and an impeccable sense of style that harks back to a bygone era of British eccentricity.

Professor Elemental's music is known for its witty lyrics, catchy beats, and the imaginative worlds he constructs, often involving time travel, tea, and all manner of fantastical creatures. Since breaking into the scene with "Cup of Brown Joy" and "Fighting Trousers," the Professor's discography has continued to grow with a delightful mix of albums and collaborations. Among his repertoire, "Father of Invention" and "School of Whimsy" stand out as monuments to his inventive musical exploration, while "Apequest" is a concept album that showcases his storytelling prowess. His project "Professor Elemental and His Amazing Friends" and its subsequent sequel demonstrate his collaborative spirit, enlisting the talents of various artists to expand the Chap Hop universe. With an endearing blend of humor, satire, and sheer originality, Professor Elemental delivers performances that are as entertaining as they are musically engaging, solidifying his status as a beloved fixture in the alternative music scene.
