About Jarvis Cocker
Jarvis Branson Cocker is an English singer and musician. As the founder, frontman, lyricist and only consistent member of the band Pulp, he became a reluctant figurehead of the Britpop genre of the mid-1990s. Cocker has also pursued a solo career, and for seven years he presented the BBC Radio 6 Music show Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service. In 1998, Cocker and his sister travelled to Australia to meet their father for the first time in nearly 30 years. Cocker founded the band Pulp originally under the name Arabicus Pulp (named after a tradable commodity he learned about in an economics class) at the age of 15 while he was a pupil at City School.
