About the author

Dan Whitlam is a poet, spoken word artist, rapper and actor from South London. He has gained traction from his music videos on TikTok which narrate the lives of 20-somethings through spoken word and rap. His soulful voice and poignant lyrics have quickly made him one-to-watch.

His poetry has been featured on BBC Radio 4, Radio 1 and Radio London as well as in a series of successful shows performed in venues around London. This has earned him a place as one of the most 'intriguing' up and comers in the UK alternative hip hop scene (Jess Iszatt - BBC Radio London/ Radio 1).
