Murray Lachlan Young was born in Washington, DC, in 1969 to Scottish and English parents and was brought up in Sevenoaks in Kent. His poetry career began in the underground poetry/cabaret nights of mid-nineties London. Word of his unique style of writing and performing soon spread and he was signed by record company Almo Sounds and given a series on MTV USA.

In 1996 he was signed by EMI in a recording deal that saw him dubbed, for a while, the ‘Million Pound Poet’.
