==Biography==
Peter was born on the 20th June 1985 at West London hospital in Hammersmith, the oldest of 4 children and attended All Saints Primary School in Fulham. He later went on to attend ADT College (now Ashcroft Technology Academy) in Wandsworth. Sharif has claimed in interviews that the main reason he started rapping was due to his introduction to Hip-Hop through albums by Wu-Tang Clan and Snoop Dogg – the latter's album purchased primarily for "the cool cover art". Aged 12, Postscript entered his first rap battle at a house party in Shepherds Bush and in his own words "completely destroyed a useless wanker and a fight broke out so [he] sprinted home". In 2003, Postscript attended Royal Holloway University, London to study film directing. While at University, Postscript started garage MCing to make some money. After graduating Postscript moved to Australia for a year where he worked on film sets.
==Career==
===Early years and Very Important People (2008 - 2010)===
After moving back to London in 2008, Postscript began work in manual jobs such as bricklaying. Whilst in his spare time recording rough versions of his own lyrics over beats made by a friend of his. After adding these tracks to his myspace page, he quickly gained a small cult following, and slowly entered the UK Grime scene. He quit his job to focus fully on his attempt to become a big artist in the Hip-Hop/Grime music scene in the UK, and began to work on his debut mixtape, titled Very Important People and released in July 2009. It is highly sort after due to their only being 100 copies ever made. After the release of Very Important People, Postscript started to tour the UK and expanded his fan base largely doing so. Reviews for Very Important People, from magazines such as NME rated it highly, stating that [his] witty lyrics and catchy beats mixed with the use of singing gave an extra-ordinary appeal to fans of many genres of music, with comparisons being made to Hadouken!
Postscript spent the majority of 2010 remaining underground and not releasing any new material or news, leading many fans to believe that he had quit music. But in December 2010, he announced that he had been preparing for his first offical album and was going to start looking for a major record label to support him. It was also at this time that he announced throughout the year he had become friends with experimental electronic screamo band Lights Go Red, and that he had more news to announce in the future. This has lead to many rumours that Postscript will be featuring on Lights Go Red's debut album (although this fell apart when the band broke apart)
===Signing to Monk on Fire Music and Welcome To The World (2011)===
Postscript was signed to Monk on Fire Music at the start of 2011 by grime artist and producer MattY, who saw the ability that was shown in the Very Important People Mixtape. Work for his debut album started as soon as he was signed, with influences for the songs that were being written including Ed Sheeran, Example, Hadouken, Vampire Weekend and Two Door Cinema Club, it was also stated that very few of the songs that were being written would be used for the album, and that it was mearly an experiment into his musical writing ability.
In early March 2011, the full tracklist and title of the debut album was announced, Welcome To The World, with the leading single from the album being Magic Spells, featuring Marksii charting 7th in the Top 20 Airplay Charts (who produced the album alongside MattY), and that the album would be a mix of hip-hop, dance-pop, alternative rock, electro-house and dubstep. It was announced via Postscript's Twitter account that the album was due for release on June 5th on iTunes and in all good record stores. Postscript released his second single Monster, which achieved charting 11th in the Top 20 Airplay Charts, and 10th in the Digital Rock Songs Chart, which was followed by Lower With Clouds (featuring Aaron Marks), which has been Postscript's best selling single to date charting at number 3 in the Digital Song Charts.
