Who is UK entrant Look Mum No Computer?
Look Mum No Computer is the alias of Sam Battle, originating from the name of his YouTube channel dedicated to creative audio electronics projects.
The artist also uses it as his stage name when performing as a musician.
The name is inspired by the phrase “look mum, no hands”, used by kids when they are learning to cycle.
It highlights the artist’s bold, anti-digital approach to making music where he builds his own synthesizers and hardware, such as his famous Furby organ.
