Michael Geoffrey Skinner. Mike Skinner, born November 27, 1978, was brought up in Birmingham and now lives in Brixton. He started messing around with keyboards at the age of 5. He took several jobs in fast food restaurants to finance a failed attempt to launch his own record label. As a teenager, he built a recording studio in a cupboard in his bedroom. At 19, he went to Australia for a year, taking his sampler along for company. The first two Streets albums were nominated for the Mercury Music Prize: Original Pirate Material in 2002 and A Grand Don't Come For Free in 2004. "Fit But You Know It" was a Top 5 hit in the summer of 2004.
