A DJ turned spoken word artist and resident poet on Russell Brand's infamous Radio Two show - it's a wonder we've not been introduced to the mysterious Mr Gee sooner.

London-based Greg Sekweyama, 41, kicked off his career DJing in clubs across south London when a romantic raver asked Gee, as he prefers to be known, for his help in proposing to his girlfriend in 2011 - revealing his talent for poetry.

He said: "We weren't sure people would like it if we stopped the music and had a poem read out so we faked a poetry night.

"Hi was the last poem of the night and she said yes.

"People seemed to like my poetry more than my DJing."

Mr Gee

Gee bagged himself a slot presenting Radio 4's Bespoken Word and took his work on tours of prisons across the UK.

He added: "I started writing about being on the train and seeing girls I fancied but as I got more into it I started writing more profoundly about justice and equality."

Following his success on Radio 4 the artist was asked work alongside Russell Brand on his Radio 2 show and opened a show for him at the 02.

When News Shopper asked if the pair would be working together again, Gee casually quipped 'watch this space.'

He said: "We get together and we talk about it, in essence it will happen but we're not sure how or when at the moment."

Gee will perform in Deptford next week.
