Schön! 47 | kid bookie feat. Marshall Headphones

“It’s fun because music is a place to practice your rebellion,” Kid Bookie explains. The MOBO-nominated artist, who wears Marshall Monitor III A.N.C. for his Schön! 47 digital cover story, has had a whirlwind time lately. His latest album,  Songs For The Living // Songs For The Dead, zeroes in on the feelings of being an outsider, something that he has been reckoning with since he was young. Music, he says, is a place where he can be a shapeshifter — someone who is redefining the concept of a rock star with his genre-defying capabilities.

“There are a lot of hurdles and barriers you’ve got to go through just by choosing to make rock music because I don’t look like a traditional rock artist,” he says. Before he became known as Kid Bookie, Tyrone Hill always felt aligned with the anti-mainstream. Growing up in inner-city London, his interests often set him apart from his peers. “I was that kid wearing mismatched Converse, a random tie with a white shirt, just being as punk as I could be,” he recalls. “In school, you get bullied for that. The uniqueness of your character, the beauty of your individuality, gets stripped away to fit in with the crowd.”

That uniqueness has been championed by the likes of Marshall Records who added him to their roster. “Marshall is the embodiment of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” he says. “I speak my mind. I challenge a lot of things. Music isn’t always the safest place. It is the place to be transgressive. And you know what? I am transgressive as a person. So, it’s Marshall to the fucking world, baby.”

Kid Bookie’s latest album Songs For The Living // Songs For The Dead is out now on Marshall Records.
