Mat Lloyd is a poet without an agenda. He simply tells it how it is and is not ashamed of being a little different from your average Poet. Looking like a Hip Hop throw back you would be forgiven for stereotyping………………………. until he opens his mouth and then your view will change. He has been writing poetry since he picked up a pen and discovered Ice-T he took his Poetry to the stage in his teens and has been there ever since. With short spells in various funk rap acts his first love is poetry and the unaccompanied flow of words. Widely traveled, having trailed with his family across Europe, he quotes his influence from Gil Scot Herron and Ice-T, to Ray Hollingsworth and Wendy Cope. You can always recognize him by his kinked baseball hat and a Poetry book in the back pocket
