Kehidupan dan karier
1963-1984: Awal kehidupan dan awal karier
Quentin Leo Cook was born in Bromley, raised in Reigate, Surrey, England, and educated at Reigate Grammar School. He played drums in Disque Attack, a new rock band influenced by the British waves. When vocalist Charlie Alcock was told by his parents that he should hand the band to concentrate on his O-level, Cook took over as the lead vocalist. At The Railway Tavern in Reigate, Cook meets Paul Heaton, with whom he forms Stomping Pondfrogs.
At 18, Cook went to Brighton Polytechnic to read B.A. in English, politics, and sociology, where he achieves 2: 1 in a UK study program. Although he had started the DJ a few years earlier, it was at this time that he began to develop his skills in the rapidly evolving Brighton club scene, regularly appearing in Brighton Belle and the students' favorite basement, where known as DJ Quentox he began laying the foundations for hip hop scene Brighton.
1985-1995: The Housemartins to The Mighty Dub Katz
In 1985, Cook's friend Paul Heaton formed a guitar band called The Housemartins. Their bassist went on the eve of their first national tour, so Cook agreed to move to Hull to join them. The band soon had a hit single with "Happy Hour", and their two albums, London 0 Hull 4 and People who grinned to death , peaked at the Top 10 UK Album Chart. They also reached number one just before Christmas 1986 with the "Caravan of Love" version, originally hitting the previous year for Isley-Jasper-Isley. However, in 1988 they have split up. Heaton and band drummer Dave Hemingway went on to form The Beautiful South, while Cook moved back to Brighton to pursue his interest in the style of music he liked.

Cook hit his first solo hit in 1989, featuring Beats International candidate, MC Wildski, called "Blame It on the Bassline".

Cook formed Beats International, a loose confederation of studio musicians including vocalist Lindy Layton and Lester Noel, D.J rappers. Baptiste and MC Wildski, and keyboardist Andy Boucher.

This made Cook bankrupt because he lost the case and was ordered to pay back twice the royalties made in the note.
