Bio/About me:	Yam Boy (Nikesh Shukla) is an author, song-writer and Saved By the Bell enthusiast caught between the cityscapes of Bombay and the low-swinging chariots of London. His writing has been featured on BBC2, Radio 1 and 4, Resonance fm, Tell Tales and he has performed at Apples and Snakes, Soho Theatre and Glastonbury. He has been published in Tell Tales, Bad Idea and Pulp Net. He recently completed his first collection of short stories, I've Forgotten My Mantra, which was funded by the Arts Council, as well as a full-length novel. He records under the name Yam Boy, and with the group The D'Archetypes. He plays guitar and mandolin. He recently spent a year in Kenya, where he produced a solo folk album, tentatively titled 'Superheroic' as well as an Arts Council-commissioned book of poetry.//// Comments about Yam Boy: ..Barely restrained, simmering anger and fiercely intelligent polemic.... Hip Hop Connection ..Either a car crash or an inspired work of genius... Eastern Eye ..A blend of intense rapping, poetical social commentary, and Indian classicism... Undercover Magazine. 'Beautiful soundscapes and prescient musings' Metro. 'He should have been a lawyer. What a disappointment' Yam Boy's mummy. //// //// www.yamboy.net //// *Read Yam Boy's weekly blog on www.myspace.com/yamtastico every Friday*
