Jason Williamson

Jason Williamson grew up in Grantham but relocated to Nottingham as a student where he joined forces with Simon Parfrement to form Sleaford Mods. The partnership was styled as minimalist, post-punk rap with heavy cultural influences from the working class lifestyle in the UK’s Midlands.

Williamson’s vocal style and form of “minimalist punk-hop rants for the working class” has caused him to be compared to renowned punk performance poet, John Cooper Clarke, Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays, and Ian Dury of Ian Dury and the Blockheads; similar voices of their own respective generations.
