Mr Mitchell was originally one-half of the successful rap duo, The Mitchell Brothers who, as ‘struggling musicians’ seized a chance opportunity with Mike Skinner (The Streets) at a bank in Brixton, by slipping a CD of their music into his back pocket. Their antics paid off when, in 2004, they were signed to Skinner’s record label, The Beats. In 2005 they released their debut album ‘A Breath Of Fresh Attire’ to positive reviews. The album was seen as one of the most innovative albums of the year, adding kudos to their song-writing skills in particular. Singles released during their height included ‘Routine Check’, ‘Alone with the TV‘ and ‘Harvey Nicks’. They released a follow up album ‘Dressed For The Occasion’ in 2007, but parted ways in 2008 after a split from The Beats.

‘Tony Mitchell’ decided to return to music, reinventing himself as Mr Mitchell. In 2012 Mr Mitchell continues to write, perform and release music as a solo artist, with the first offering, ‘On the Rooftop’ released 25 March.
