He's been as been as elusive as Banksy, dipping out of interviews and not accepting any DJing gigs, but the bookies favourite for this year's Mercury Music Prize, has now stepped forward, explaining the man behind the music.
"For a while there's been some talk about who I am, but it's not a big deal I wanted to be unknown because I just want it to be all about the tunes," he wrote. "Over the last year the unknown thing become an issue so I'm not into it any more.
"I'm a low key person and i just want to make some tunes, nothing else. my name's Will Bevan, I'm from south London, I'm keeping my head down and just going to finish my next album, there's going to be a 12-inch maybe in the next few weeks too with four tunes."
He added: "Sorry for any rubbish tunes I made in the past, I'll make up for it."

As long as he can make good tunes, who cares about his real name?
The Sun asked its readers to help unmask the artist. I guess the guy was annoyed by this stupid initiative and decided to reveal his identity before somebody else did it for him.
