Known to the world as the new 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.
