Norman Quentin Cook, born on 31 July 1963, is an English musician and DJ known professionally as Fatboy Slim. He contributed to the popularisation of the big beat genre in the 1990s. His music incorporates samples from various genres, combined with pop structures, processed rhythms, and vocals described as "sloganistic." In the 1980s, Cook was the bassist for the indie rock band the Housemartins, which achieved a UK number-one single with their cover of 'Caravan of Love.' After the band disbanded, he moved to Brighton to pursue dance music. Cook formed the electronic group Beats International, producing their 1990 number-one single 'Dub Be Good to Me,' and played in the band Freak Power. He also released house records under the names Pizzaman and the Mighty Dub Katz. In 1996, Cook released his first album as Fatboy Slim, titled Better Living Through Chemistry. His second album, You've Come a Long Way, Baby, was certified platinum and included singles such as 'The Rockafeller Skank,' 'Praise You,' and 'Right Here, Right Now.'
