Known to the world as the {

ew wave} one-hit wonder M, Robin Scott scored one of the first commercially successful electro-{pop}/dance singles with 1979's international number one smash "Pop Muzik." Scott attended Croydon Art College in the late '60s, where his classmates included Malcolm Mclaren, and began performing topical {folk} songs in area clubs. This led to the release of an early LP, Woman From The Green Grass, on Head Records, which quickly went bankrupt. Scott worked on a variety of musical projects during the early '70s, hoping to break through. He eventually became manager and producer for the {pub rock} band Roogalator and produced their "Cincinnati Fatback," one of the first singles released by the pioneering U.K. indie Stiff Records. Scott's label, Do-It, also released the first Adam & The Ants LP, Dirk Wears White Sox. Scott moved to Paris in 1978, where he produced the all-female {punk rock} band The Slits, and a previously recorded single was issued under the name Comic Romance.
