Gabriel Prokofiev is a composer and record producer based in England. He was born to an English mother and Russian father Oleg Prokofiev,[1] and is the grandson of Sergei Prokofiev. He studied composition at Birmingham and York universities, but eschewed classical music for electronica,[2] and became a composer of garage music.[3] He was one of the producers of Lady Sovereign's album Public Warning,[4] under the name Medasyn.[5]
He founded the independent record label Nonclassical in 2003 and started composing classical music in 2004 with a string quartet written for the Elysian Quartet.[1] His Concerto for Turntables and Orchestra was performed at the BBC Proms in August 2011 by DJ Switch and the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain conducted by Vladimir Jurowski.[6][7][8]
