# Norman Nawrocki

Norman Nawrocki (Vancouver, 1969) è un musicista, scrittore e cabarettista canadese.

## Biografia

Figlio di immigrati polacco-ucraini, nell'estrema provincia occidentale canadese della Columbia Britannica, si autodefinisce sex educator, cabaret artist, musician, author, actor, producer and composer. Il suo legame con la parola scritta si manifesta dall'età di quattordici anni, quando scrive il suo primo libro, Why I am an Anarchist. Nel 1981 si sposta a Montréal, nella provincia francofona del Québec, dove intraprende la carriera di artista-cabarettista, e nel 1985 fonda con il chitarrista Sylvain Coté Rhythm Activism, gruppo anarchico underground. Nawrocki, violino e voce della band, al suo ottavo libro, è titolare della casa editrice e discografica indipendente Les Pages Noires, attraverso la quale ha realizzato tre libri e più di cinquanta album tra cd e cassette come solista, con Rhythm Activism, i veterani del punk canadese D.O.A., gli olandesi The Ex e altre band.
