Jonathan Hamilton is something out of the ordinary when it comes to his music. Known in the music world as Jun Tzu, the 22-year-old has already suffered some controversy for the unusually political slant on his lyrics. Jun started writing poetry when he was just nine years old, he travelled around the world with his father who was a traveling Christian preacher at the time. Jun has since won numerous awards for his poetry. Inspired by his Irish heritage, his lyrics are both poetic and political, describing experiences of growing up in Northern Ireland, views on religion and his own take on the rising violence on the streets of Manchester. A rising star in the hip hop scene, Jun Tzu's 'Fire in Booth' with Charlie Sloth in November 2012 sent shockwaves across the country.
