HARRY BAKER
Mathematician-Turned-World-Slam-Champion Harry Baker turns 10,000 days old, celebrating numbers, words and life itself. From winning his school battle-of-the-bands competition with a Jay-Z Maths homage to his prime number poetry TED talk being watched by millions online, Harry’s love of language and logic has got him through literal marathons, seen him rap battle in front of Ice Cube, and now has him analysing the technical accuracy of So Solid Crew's 21 seconds. He's got 99 problems but maths ain't one. ”Ferociously intelligent" **** Scotsman "Spectacularly witty" ***** Whatsonstage “The greatest performer on earth” ***** BBC Radio 1

"As the town hung-overly heaves itself into life, the farmers chase those of us who have been scarring the crows from the fields all night long. We swallowed galaxies two at a time, sowing seeds of lifelong friendships that dissipate under morning sun." An autobiographical account of growing up in the West-Mids, exploring the grittier side of life in the countryside.
