Roger Robinson

Roger Robinson is a British-Trinidadian writer, musician, and performer known for his thought-provoking blend of dub poetry, experimental music, and sharp social commentary. As one half of the critically acclaimed duo King Midas Sound (with producer Kevin Martin, aka The Bug), Robinson has made a name for himself in the worlds of ambient, dub, and spoken word. His solo work often explores themes of urban life, identity, and Caribbean heritage, and he brings a deep, emotional resonance to everything he creates.

Albums like Dis Side Ah Town and Dog Heart City showcase his ability to merge dub rhythms with powerful narratives that reflect on gentrification, injustice, and personal memory. He's also an accomplished poet, having won the T.S. Eliot Prize for Poetry in 2019 for his collection A Portable Paradise. Whether through his music or writing, Roger Robinson continues to be a vital voice at the intersection of art and activism.
