Paul Alborough better known by his stage name Professor Elemental is a steampunk musical artist.[1]. After being approached to do a concept album of hip-hop as it would sound in different time periods, Paul Alborough created the character of Professor Elemental. While the album never came to fruition, the character stuck[2]. Professor Elemental has since been seen performing as a solo act or in theatre acts such as Come Into My Parlour.
The Professor Elemental character first gained notoriety with his music video for "Cup of Brown Joy," (Directed by Moog) which got the attention of notable celebrities such as Warren Ellis. Since then he has released a new album, continued his work in the community and performed live. He is currently in a feud with fellow "chap-hop" artist Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer.[3]
