My Take
Ben Watt is the rare musician whose career keeps reinventing itself, and I find that endlessly compelling. Most people know him as half of Everything but the Girl, but the part I respect is how he reemerged as a DJ and record producer, a genuine second life in dance music. Add author and radio presenter to the list and you get someone who simply refuses to be defined by one lane. Born in Marylebone and schooled at the University of Hull, he's built a quietly restless body of work. To me he's a model of how an artist can stay curious across decades rather than freezing at one peak.
